Hello,

What is the Best shared hosting for you? What can you host can you advice to me?

I have been with 1&1 and got a lot of errors from them.

I also have been for just 5-7 days at HostGator but its not working with me. They said that I am consuming a lot of bandwidth but I only consumed 5gb on my bandwidth (out of 6,000 gb) What the?!

I really need now to switch my site into another host than make my site unavailable FOREVER with HostGator. My god... help me!

More or less my site consumes 1000GB up. So, please recommend a host with at least of the given amount of Bandwidth.

Thank you very much!

Regards,
Robert

Are you looking at shared hosting, or are you considering a VPS or dedicated server?

Most shared hosts offering this amount of bandwidth usually practice overselling, but I'm not sure how many of them would say anything about your usage

Most likely the reason had to do with CPU usage, not data transfer. 5GB is peanuts.

In real terms, that means a $100+ cost. Just something to keep in mind when judging these hosts.

I've read of Dreamhost that they tend to be pretty liberal when it comes to data transfer usage. Mysql performance is reportedly poor though.

You need a good dedicated server. Must cost you $200+ . Checkout liquidweb.

If you are going to jump from a overseller to another you will continue to do that.
Ask your host about your CPU usage. You probably might have out grown for a shared account and there is no meaning in going to hosts that offer a huge spec.

You need free web hosting then, which is always "the best"

With 1TB usage, free hosting is unlikely to be the solution. The only scenario I can think of where it could help would be if he's got loads of static files, which he distributes. Then he could put these files on some of those free "file hosts" out there. It could be a bit of an annoyance for the users though.

I am just curious. Why don't host companies show up their CPU usage limit on their hosting package features?

Probably because many of them don't really have one, and they basically take your site down if it affects server performance.

Shared web hosting ... hm ... the best ... I'd like to mention MMHosting.com as this company provides feature -rich package plans and their prices aren't very high. And their FREE Easy To Use WebSite Builder is very useful. Not bad to be tried.

Try VPS. That is not shared account and not dedicated server That is around $xx as rule. I suggest you have a look at Hostv.com for VPS.

Try checking out http://www.securedservers.com/shared-hosting.php

They're a little more expensive but also a lot higher quality than most hosts. They're partnered with tier1 providers like Level3 and Savvis so can sell any extra bandwidth you might need dirt cheap.
