Default Please help me in choosing web hosting

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 checking [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] - 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.

Talk about hosting, I've never go for anything else other than hostgator. Maybe if you intend to try out others then ask yourself what is your traffic requirement, bandwidth size, whether they provide unlimited emails, database and perhaps the most important, server uptime and then make your decision.

If you are using alot of bandwidth then it may be cheaper to spread your hosting over a number of companies (some off 500meg for $2 a month) and just redirect the site to these files when needed

What i personally feel is that better going for one or two small plans depending on site needs as Lamalord said.

Many site offer 100 gb space and unlimited bandwidth and domains. But then hen you actually start using those features the kick you off as happened to you. This holds true with all site offering unlimited features. That is just a stratergy to attract people.

If you actually see if you host a medium size site and a medium size forum too you hardly need around 1 to 2 gb initially may be if it grows wastly then youll need more but initially thats more than enough. So you are wasting 99% space over an 100gb account and its for sure that the host will never allow you to use all 100gb.

Its just their marketing trick. They know that youll never user or theyll never allow you to use 100% or rather more than 60% of it.
