Your web hosting provider?

[0zas]

I apologize for the possible off-topic. Guys, could you tell me which web hosting company you are using at the moment? I have a problem because my current web hosting company hostrator.com is kicking me off. They say that our website is using too many server resources. But our website only gets 300 visitors per day..

Anyway, what would be your recommendations? Are you happy with your web hosting providers?

I am checking http://www.hosting24.com/ at the moment, but is it real that they can provide unlimited disk space?
I have contacted them and they say something like "1000GB disk drive costs only $30 per month, so if some day we will start running out of disk space we will simply add a new 1000GB drive so can continue uploading..".

What do you think about it? Any ideas and web hosting company name suggestions are much appreciated.

Hi Ozas,

This site is currently hosted with ServInt. It was previously hosted with MediaTemple (moved ~6 months ago).

So far I am impressed with ServInt. No downtime, no resource alerts and fast connections. The site is hosted on a SuperVPS 2x which is an expensive (349$/month), but very powerful Virtual Private Server. It comes with 6 TB monthly bandwidth which is useful for this site (it uses about 4.5 TB/month now). Other VPS plans are available in all price ranges starting at 49$/month.

MediaTemple has cheaper shared servers called (gs) or Grid Servers (starting at 20$/month). I had a few sites on those servers initially and it worked great. But if you already have exceeded the resources available in your current shared plan you might have to go to a (dv) or Dedicated Virtual server. I had two of those as well before I moved to ServInt. The only reason I moved from them was that they did not have any plans with the amount of bandwidth this site requires. MediaTemple has a great user interface and amazing support (that goes for ServInt as well).

Unfortunately, I have no experience with hosting24.com. So I can't answer your questions about them. Try to search for them at WebHostingTalk.

You should also investigate what kind of resources your website is using too much of. It could be that a script or piece of code is suboptimal and uses way more resources than it needs. Also, if you have a database there are probably some optimizations you can do to the queries and database structure.

BTW: Is seems like the hostrator.com site is redirecting to enterupload.com. Are they out of business?
