Hello,
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 http://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.

Configuration: Windows XP
Firefox 3.0.1

Avoid 1and 1.com
Inexpensive for a static website but if you have a lot of traffic,
they try to sell you dedicated server service
They promise alot but do not deliver...

You may wish to go through a good primer on what to expect or what to ask your host. There really is a great list for just this sort of thing online. You can do this by simply looking up great questions to ask your host etc... Here are a couple of links for starters:
