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.

We use hostgator.com. By far the best host I have come across so far.

I'm looking into hosting, I have a friend who could proably just let me bank deposit the money to him because he's Australian. Is there a way with hostgator that I can directly bank deposit into one of the staff or something? I would just transfer to paypal, but I cant seem to get my bank to let me transfer to paypal.

Mythichost.com is my friends site, seem's decent in price and i dont mind price I know other places might be cheaper, but not many other places take australian bank Deposits.

These guys are also good. A few years ago they had a promotion where you could get hosting for 3 years for free. That's the hosting package that codex started on.
