Oh and with hosting "too good to be true" means it usually is.

Yes.

Damn, I am in desperate need of a good/reliable host...

I signed up for BlueDomino.com, and in the first 2 weeks...the site ran perfectly...now it is slow as hell...and I am getting "400 & 503 errors" like crazy while trying to access the site!

Can anyone recommend a good/fast/reliable host...I need about 30 gigs of bandwith a month...I used Interserver.net before I transferred to BlueDomino, but they were down so much :-(

Too good to be true indeed. :eek:

Yep too good to be true

too good to be true, most likely.

I have yet to see a customer of them anywhere

Vandal X, I am a newbie, but I believe I am providing the true answer for you below (at the bottom of my post). I just looked at their contract page and I believe it provides you with a clear answer:

No, your don't really get unlimited bandwidth, its just a sales gimic where they hope we are naive and don't read the contract. According to the contract, they can pull the rug out from under you if your bandwidth goes high. I think we can assume that they would indeed do just that even though they have "unlimited data transfer" highlighted in multiple locations on their main page.

QUESTION FOR VANDAL X
By the way, in my earlier posts, most posters are telling me I am worrying way too much about bandwidth beyond what is given in the basic, relatively small packages (5-20 Gb). For example, one (well-intended poster) indicated that I will never need more than about 5 Gb bandwidth per month even if I put 30 web sites on the account. I think they are only thinking about THEIR web sites and forget that all web sites are not the same as theirs. I think this is just human nature. Since you say you need about 30 GB bandwidth, you have confirmed my suspicion that the previous well-intended (and appreciated) advice might have been a little short-sighted. Would you mind telling me a little about your web site so I will get another point of view on how much bandwidth different kinds of web sites might need? I will be putting up a very different kind of web portal that will be much more graphics oriented than existing portals.

Here is the exact contract language from HostOnce.com:

UNLIMITED USE POLICY
High bandwidth usage: HostOnce.com offers an unlimited use policy by maintaining very large ratios of bandwidth per customer. In rare cases, HostOnce.com may find a customer to be using server resources to
such an extent that he or she may jeopardize server performance and resources for other customers. In such instances, HostOnce.com reserves the right to impose the High Resource User Policy for the
consideration of all customers.

HIGH RESOURCE USER POLICY
Resources are defined as bandwidth and/or processor utilization.

HostOnce.com may implement the following policy to its sole discretion:

When a website is found to be monopolizing the resources available HostOnce.com reserves the right to suspend that site immediately. This policy is only implemented in extreme circumstances and is
intended to prevent the misuse of our servers. Customers may be offered an option whereby HostOnce.com continues hosting the website for an additional fee.

I asked about these guys a while back as well, but nobody had ever really experienced them so I went ahead and signed up one of my clients with them last week.

Up till now it's been running well. But for what my client needs I thought it was a good risk to take.

They are offering a new Linux package and I jumped on it because they were giving away all the extra stuff you usually had to pay for, for free.

I'll keep you posted about it.

Even though it says unlimited they reword it in there TOS.

Well, not to take this thread off topic, but I think the point was that there isn't much need to get a 40 GB/mo hosting package when you haven't even lauched yet and the site might do 5 gigs after 6 months. If you want to be non-shortsighted then why not go for the server cluster of 1.7 MHz machines now, as you might need them in the future? Point being that you should choose a host that meets your needs, with room to grow and that offers a solid plan for you to upgrade to, on your way up to the server cluster. :D
