    Hello mates,

    I will carry my site to hostgator. My site is getting so much traffic. I have looked at the hostgator, and the price is too low :) $7 a month for unlimited storage and bandwith (traffic).

    What do you say about that ?

    Shared hosting is never good for huge traffic website. Enjoy hostgator as long as they don't suspend your account giving reason, CPU/ Memory abuse.

    However, hostgator is excellent host with super fast support. Good uptime also.

    If you are using wordpress, and have traffic site, then shared hosting may not be the best option.
    Although, HG seems like a reputable company.

    I really like HostGator. I have hosted two websites with HostGator and haven't had a problem yet to be honestly with you. Excellent hosting. I highly recommend it :)

    Ichigo91, They will probably suspend you..
    And if you choose to go with shared, you will either not be able to install any PHP based traffic monitoring tools.

    So when you got this much traffic I highly recommend to go with dedicated or virtual private server.

    Check out yellowfiber.com, they got some great deals on VPS's

    Cheers!

    best is to get a vps for such traffic :) shared hosting may offer unlimited bandwidth but they restrict cpu usage

    I recommend hostgator for shared hosting too. No matter who your shared host is there are limits you can reach with traffic where you will need to upgrade to a VPS or Dedi

    Alright, I have a pretty known adult blog who is hosted on Hostgator along with other websites. On all websites together I get around 10K unique visitors per day.

    I've never seen my websites down, I've always received the best support when it was necesarry, I've always paid their cheap price for their good service.

    Some people said Hostgator is too expensive -- For me it's too cheap, remember that they have an affiliate program (that I'm using too, see signature) which pays a lot per client referred.

    HostGator is definitely worth it, you won't regret it ;)

    I have heard good reviews about Hostgator but not used it so cannot suggest.

    With respect to Bluehost, I suggest that you don't use it. They will suspend your account if your traffic exceeds 500 visitors per day ( Wordpress blog ). They did this to me and I really had a nightmare shifting files to another host.
