    I would get a dedicated server as it sounds like you are getting pounded.

    Lol, good luck with having 10,000 images on one page! Well, on my site are per page probbably max. 2 images. So it would be max. 2 hits per pageview ;) And as I said, about 10.000 unique visitors per day.

    And what would be a good, but still as cheap as possible, VPS or Dedicated Server, Hosting?

    skyfe I can set you up with whatever you need. What are you spending now for hosting? What are you looking to spend?

    I can put you on a cpanel server at a reasonable rate

    I've been spending about 2 euro per month (which is about $3,50 per month), that was a quite cheap hosting. But for the host I don't want to spend too much, so as cheap as possible, but it should be able to run my site (with the stats I've given), the webspace doesn't matter so much though. (50mb would be enough already actually!)

    I recommend SenseHost. I have a dedicated server with them, as well as Softlayer, and thus far they have been far better than Softlayer. They do some very good deals too.

    Buy a dedicated or VPS...Shjared one is not for you which gets so much visitors.

    Anyway, Hostgator is the most popular company in the world of shared web hosting and as well you can buy VPS or dediacated from them...

    HOSTGATOR rocks

    Well, I don't care if it's either a VPS/Dedicated Server, or shared, hosting. In anyway it should be payable for me, so actually I'm aiming for something up to $15 per month. Any possibilities?

    In $15 you can't buy any VPS or dedicated and hostgator shared plan is best...In basic package also you can get more than 50 gb.

    Hatchling package is enough for you that offers 350 GB space and 3000 GB bandwith for $5 (round)
    I think it's enough for you..

    As well, are you using auto updating website?

    How do you mean?

    And I think I'll go for HostGator; Baby package. Got a coupon code which lets me get that one for $0,01 the first month! :D
    I also have had a live chat with one of the suport people, and he said their host is for any site, and that it would be fine for mine too (I told him it has half million hits per day, and used about 21 GB Bandwith in about 8 days).

    If you choose anyone other than GoDaddy.com you'll be killing your business. No matter what GoDaddy beats all the other companies in all domain related services... If you're not convinced, call for yourself and talk to a GoDaddy.com representative. They'll show you exactly what to do simply and effectively. And they'll help you every step of the way.

    You'll be killing your entire business if you choose anyone other than GoDaddy.com..

    Also, with 500,000 (unique) visitors a day you should be making at least $75,000-$100,000 USD a month.. are you close to that figure?

    Well, I've got 100.000 unique visitors, which would mean $75.000/5 = about $15.000 per month you say. Well, not really close to that at all...
    With Google Adsense my earnings are $20 per day, which is $600 per month.
    Any tips/suggestions? And should I go for GoDaddy, as webhosting?

    Ok, so, what would you suggest then? And aren't most of those messages made by the same person (complaining)? And are they true?

    Hmm, now I'm again in doubt of what hosting I should choose lol :p

    Those are search results...go down the page, go to other pages, do similar searches

    I am just saying they are well known for being the worst hosts...both of them

    There are many people here who offer hosting...just ask them if they are a reseller, and who they resell for...you willf ind a lot just resell hostgator


    I made an offer to you...I can give you a full reseller for $14.95 cpanel/whm

    so I would only recommend myself :p

    but again, there are plenty of hosts on this forum to choose from

    You can get 6,000 GBs for $7.95 a month?
    They have to have at least 30-35 people on that box to make money at
    $7.95 a month and if they all used 6,000 a month that would mean the box was handling 6,000 GBs a day or 240 GBs an hour.
    It must have a pipe the size of the Erie Canal...
    Who is it, hell I might drop a few boxes and start hosting there..

    The worst thing anyone can do is get hosting with a Registrar.
    I've read more horror stories from people doing that than you'd believe.
    when ya get a minute check out http://nodaddy.com/
