    I apologize for the possible off-topic. Guys, could you tell me which web hosting company you are using at the moment? I have a problem because my current web hosting company hostrator.com is kicking me off. They say that our website is using too many server resources. But our website only gets 300 visitors per day..

    Anyway, what would be your recommendations? Are you happy with your web hosting providers?

    I am checking http://www.hosting24.com/ at the moment, but is it real that they can provide unlimited disk space? I have contacted them and they say something like "1000GB disk drive costs only $30 per month, so if some day we will start running out of disk space we will simply add a new 1000GB drive so can continue uploading..".

    What do you think about it? Any ideas and web hosting company name suggestions are much appreciated.

    Did they tell you which server resources are being the problem? Memory? Disk? Traffic?

    The first thing is to figure out what resources your over-using and why. At 300 visitors a day, you could host it off your home PC and handle that. Either your current host sucks, or something ain't right and you need to fix it. Otherwise, whatever host you end up at you'll likely have similar problems.

    At 300 visitors a day, any host should do. I like webfaction for shared hosting, but that's because they're about one step away from having a full dedicated host. They expect you to know what you're doing, so if you need a lot of handholding and turnkey solutions, they may not be for you.

    Also, try to find a host that's very familiar with whatever software you're running. And backing up to the first point, re-consider your current software. No way should 300 people a day bring ANY server down.
