Hosting Company change time

October 27th, 2009, 6:55 am

Hey all.

Its been a while, i know.
Question that i bet comes up all of the time.
My contract with my hosting company is due for a renewal. Like most things, you shop around at this point.
I been with Lypha for 5 years now. I fancy a change.

I only really host 1 site at the moment. I have been to busy to focus / work on the others. This may change soon.
The one site has been running itself, an information website (clubfeet.net)

I work in PHP4, but I think they will work with PHP 5 as its mainly SQL Updates.

Current Bandwidth (1 website) = 25G (Need to look why this is high)
Current Diskspace = Just over 1G
Monthly Avg unique hits = 10,000 (Didn't know I was getting that many hits, could explain the Bandwidth)

As you can see, I need a reliable hosting company as I am planning on a new website soon which should be double the above for itself.

Any recommendations?

I just switched to Ozzu hosting today.

I would definitely look into that bandwidth usage. For me, 25G of bandwidth would be a LOT for 10K monthly visitors. At least 5X what I would expect. I average 10 page views per visit. I keep my pages pretty lite though.

Hi
Cheers, looking at hosting costs
I am being offered the following
unlimited (within reason) storage
Unlimited (within reason) Bandwidth
Unlimited Domains / Parking / Sub Domains
99.998% uptime
$6.95 a month

They have a cheaper package which is something like 150GB storage, 1,500GB Bandwidth and lower domains / SQL / Emails for $3.95

With regards to my Bandwidth, I have a FLV video which takes up about 94% of my bandwidth on one website.

Can recommend you have a look at hosting plans which hostpebble, bluehost and a2hosting. These companies have offered plans which have all necessary scripts and resources to run web sites successfully and I do hope that this info will be useful for you.

Good luck! Maybe split it up if you have more then one website.

You know, hosting any FLV files you have on something like Amazons S3 might not be a bad idea.
