Hi everyone,
I am sorry for possible offtopic, but I need your help in find new web hosting provider as soon as possible, because my current host (bluehost.com) is kicking me off, they say 'your account is using a lot server resources', but my website gets only about 200 visitors per day and my disk usage is 1500 MB (maybe they do not like that?)

Anyway, what would be your recommendations for getting reliable web hosting? Where are you hosting your websites? Are you happy with your providers?

I am now checkinghttp://www.hosting24.com/ - offer looks very nice, but is it real that they can provide unlimited disk space?
I have contacted them about this question and they say something that "These days 500GB disk drive costs only $30 per month, so if some day we will run out of disk space we will simply add new 500GB disk drive with almost zero costs and you can continue uploading without any problems".

What do you think about it? Maybe things have changed in last 4 years? With my current provider I get only 2GB of disk space for $10 per month..
Any ideas and suggestions are much appreciated.

Very interesant line.
There are many hosts that seams OK and is cheap. But you get what you pay for!

The requirements for a host is the least:
Right to create folders next to the web root (protector, XOOPS-DATA, XOOPS-LIB)
'register_globals' set to off
'allow_url_fopen' set to off
'session.use_trans_sid' set to off
Mod_apache installed?

Permissions to make their own .htaccess file, if the above is not default.
PHP and MySql version is expected to be up to date

In addition, You can have own wishes such as
Place - how many megabytes
Email - how many e-mail
MySql bases - how many
Subdomæner - how many

I'm looking for a host as well
Xoops.dk is hosted by a private person, so for that site I don't have any problems.

Re: Please help me in choosing web hosting

I'm looking to host a number of my domains on a single virtual server (still not sure how it's done yet, but am reading up on it).
I'm torn between the networksolutions standard package and the package offered by webair.com
Both offer heaps of storage and bandwidth at about $10/month...
Anyone got anything possitive/negative to say about either host?

Crip

Re: Please help me in choosing web hosting

I worked a little bit with www.servage.net to get their VPS Cloud working with XOOPS, they are alright and perform resoundably well for xoops these days!!

I host a few clients with them when they can't be bothered with dealing with hosting!!

I recently moved to hostpapa.co.uk

One hosting plan, three prices depending upon how long you sign up.

Has everything I could want in terms of features (pretty-much unlimited everything), free domain for life (I transferred in my exisiting domain), is every bit as quick as my last host and there's an environmental element to it as well.

Used tech support once so far - issue sorted very promptly.

So far very pleased.
