    Hi,
    I will like to have advice on safe hosting in US.

    I am french and my sites are actually hosted by a french company on a french IP.
    I want to transfer my hosting in US but it's not easy for me to find good advices for reliable hosting in USA.
    I am pretty sure i will have some here ...

    My sites are small.
    I don't need SQL, I just need unlimited traffic ( or high limit ) , php , and 20 GO space per website.
    AND 99,99% availibility :)

    Low cost is better, of course, IF high quality service.

    Thanks for your advices.

    For hosting in the us figure on $4 a month for a reliable provider. Any hosting site or package under that will wind up costing you more money. Most sites that offer low cost hosting under $4 will have very little transfer and will charge you for extra transfer every month.

    Try to get a large transfer and space package. This way you do not have to pay extra for more. Also some sites offer no cost upgrades to larger packages if you need them. You can upgrade hosting anytime with some companies.

    Get a dedicated server or VDS for as low as $25/month...cheap and reliable.

    I dont trust shared and resellers''

    The host in my signature i would recommend. I've been with them for a few months now. I'm from the UK and I was used to much higher prices, with fewer resources. So as soon as i switched to a US host i thought i'd get loads of downtime, but i've been monitoring it's uptime alongside my current host, i've i'm getting better results with my US host.

    Again, the link is in my sig

    You can also choose HostGator. They are a little pricey ($10), but service and support is great; so is their reputation in the industry.

    Check some real HostGator Reviews by webmasters if interested.

    HostGator are not oversellers, thus they are great while bluehost and others are.
