I Need Shared Hosting...
I need to transfer my site (and my domain) to another hosting company.
Here is what i need for my hosting...
- Unlimited space (currently using 20gb)
- Unlimited traffic
- At least 10 dbs (actively using 3 but it will increase. The biggest db is 170mb)
- At least 1000 email sending limit per hour. (currently 200 and it sucks so bad. I cant even send a newsletter to my members)
- Unlimited inode (currently using 150.000)
- Pretty high memory mb (i donno what i actually need about this one because my stupid hosting company doesnt tell me how much i use and what is their limit. - They just say %10 of the entire memory is the limit)
- Unlimited email accounts. (Currently using 3 but i will start giving out email adresses to some of my members)
- At least 50 subdomain (currently use like 20 or something)
- 24/7 On-Call or Online (Live) Technical service. NOT EMAIL! (Currently have)
These are what i can think of so far...
Right now i am paying about 40$ a year and i dont want to much more than that.
So if anybody have good recommendations or offers i am listening...

You are best getting a mail-exchange provider and sending our newsletters this way as many will not support up to a 1000 e-mails per hour on a Shared Platform, either that or get a VPS.

Your requirements are unrealistic, and your budget too low for a reliable host offering what you are already using.

Other than your email limit why are you looking to change web hosts? It sounds to me like you might have outgrown your shared web hosting service and might possibly need to move to a VPS or Semi Dedicated service (which I must say, for that you are going to need to increase your budget significantly).
PS. What type of website are you currently hosting, why are you using 20GB of space?Looking for an awesome VPS Offer? CLICK HERE

I wonder if you really want unlimited space? Why? Any web site even biggest one has strict limitations of size and bandwidth.
WHT is not allowing unlimited offers so I suppose that is not good idea to send you to the shared offers section.

why do you feel you need unlimited diskspace?
You are using 20GB of bandwidth, why do you need "Unlimited",
Good luck in getting this with a Shared Provider,
arvixe.com/linux_web_hosting
A lot of providers will limit you on these, especially the ones who offer "Unlimited" Diskspace and Bandwidth so again good luck in finding a provider who will allow this, not even Hostgator will allow more than their limit.
Hard to really determine as we cannot see current statistics, but you are not going to get more than the normal with a shared provider, the more you use on a shared account the more you are going to put pressure on the service and the chances of an upgrade are relatively high.
Well the chances of getting what you want are well very minimal at least. Raise your budget either in terms of per month or per year, or don't bother.
Apperently, I put URLs yet so im just gonna say...
Search "DOLLAR HOSTING" on google and click on what comes up on the first page. you will see most of those companies are providing many UNLIMITED OPTIONS.
Most of these companies have UNLIMITED options for their features. But i am concerned about the memory mostly. So Nobody can tell me i pay low and ask for too much because i am not the one who are setting these standarts. When your competitors are giving these deals you cant really say i am asking too much for a little.
Sadly I don't.

@kyler68: I ll take a look into that. I think i need t go to sleep now.
Thanks everybody for the answers.

The budget is really low to get something decent.
Just my point of view.

I think you have to go with an VPS at least, shared hosting will not offer so much space although they're advertised "unlimited".

A VPS is better than shared hosting but that's impossible to get unlimited VPS deal, all resources are limited on it.

Hello,
Personally I'd be very worried about this. The fact that this is the only web host to advertise this does say allot

Because my site is big and anybody can upload files. So its growing its size pretty fast. Therefore i dont wanna get stuck to a space limit.

I wouldnt recommend anything other than a dedicated or semi-dedicated machine. A VPS host will most likely suspend you for memory usage. Check out some dedicated hosts.

I appreciate your comment and your concern but as i have been working with Midphase the last 6-7 years. Until this memory problem comes up, i didnt have a major issue with them. They really provided unlimited sources for many things... But this time they said they cannot do anything so i am back in the market after 6-7 years.
Right now i think im gonna go with arvixe.com because so far their features are pretty good. They told me i could set my php.ini and even 512mb would be ok for me to use. But i may come back and complaint about them after 6 months like you said. Because i donno this new company. But i may never come back either... I think this is risk with any company.
FYI: I was gonna check out kyler68 recommendation but i guess he deleted his message.Last edited by Website_Ist; 05-17-2011 at 07:58 PM. Reason: adding more...

This is because websites grow, and yours did. Just because you started with a shared hosting account 6 years ago on your website, it doesn't mean you still should be using a shared hosting account. Take the advise given to you here... Your website has outgrown shared hosting, go for a VPS or Semi-dedicated hosting now, or you will face the same problems no matter what host you choose. Your current host did the right thing, and advised you to upgrade, but you turned them down and went searching for a new host..

I understand you not wanting to have to upgrade but this is simply impossible in the industry. Even if you go with a provider that offers you unlimited diskspace and traffic, you'll still hit a CPU limit. Check their TOS. It'll probably state that if you use more than your share of CPU resources or abuse server resources, you'll get suspended.
Basically, in the hosting industry, as your site grows, you'll always have to upgrade in some form. If you have a small site, shared hosting would work fine, you might have to upgrade packages. Then, when it outgrows that, VPS/Cloud is your next option. Then you get dedicated or cluster based hosting. There are always points at which you have to upgrade.█ Bobby - PreciselyManaged.com - Precision Hosting Solutions

No hosting plan is truly without limits - something will always limit your usage and often it will be a resource issue (like the memory limits you're facing now) that you can't easily quantify or predict. And no matter what host you choose or what they offer, as soon as your usage starts to adversely affect others on the shared server, you will be forced to upgrade or move out.
Well there are pretty interesting deals out there.

FWIW, Dreamhost is a budget host I've found to be good and by reputation (search for recent threads here) they're relatively generous with their "unlimited" disk space, but their hosting plans are way outside your current budget.Chris

So is there any other recommendations and offers?
My main concern right now is max php_memory mb limit.
And please Dont Suggest VPS, Dedicated or anything other than shared hosting!
There are thousands of companies out there. I am know i can get what i am looking for my budget just like what i got the last 6 years. So instead of judging my request i would really appreciate if you come up with offers and quote/company recommendations
Thank you.

They claim to offer which most hosting companies offer:
Unlimited this unlimited that...
Everything has been pretty good until the memory problem. Plus i can actually go up to like 60-70$ for a year now. It may not be much money for you guys but i have many websites and the costs total to a lot.

Also, I noticed you mentioned you have various websites which is limiting your budget. Have you thought about maybe consolidating your sites into a VPS or Dedicated server? That might save you some money and will give you more resources to play with.

No. Because some siets are small (needs only "dollar a year" hosting) and some are big. So based on my calculations i dont want to transfer to a VPS or dedicated.
And please Dont Suggest VPS, Dedicated or anything other than shared hosting!

you would be looking at an account that realistically comes with about 5-8Gb of disk space and maybe 50-100GB of bandwidth?

Honestly any shared web hosting account you try to use to host a website with that kind of usage is going to run into problems. I know you dont want to hear it, but unless you can trim down your disk quota by about 50% and increase your budget by another 50%, your going to have a very tough time hosting this site in a shared environment. Another solution would be semi-dedicated service, but again, your budget would need to be increased significantly.
