I like Bluehost and all but I think I need something else. No my site is not going to be big like Facebook or something, but something with better CPU limits, more files, video, music and able to hold more users.*it's a social network*I want to move the site before more people join.. Or would me using amazon s3 okay? I was thinking about buying it, but I'm not sure.

I was also thinking of trying a host temporary for 15 a month until I can pay all of it straight up.

What's your opinions? Any is appreciated.

-something not too expensive..

What is a good GB, RAM, Disk Space, and Bandwidth for a site with what I listed above.

Hoes Hostgator hosting or VPS hosting? or Godaddy ultimate hosting? And how anything else you can think of or reasons to stick woth bluehost.

Thanks again.

I'd choose Hostgator rather than Godaddy since Hostgator is a hosting company whereas Godaddy is primarily a domain registrar who does hosting as a side business.

If I remember correctly Hostgator also has some high usage shared plans where you only share with about 20 other accounts on the server instead of the several hundred that there are on regular shared hosting.

Dreamhost is far and away the best shared hosting I've ever used.

This is good to know. I'm with Hostmonster and have been very happy with them for years, until now. My site has been going down on and off a LOT lately. 3 times today already, totaling over an hour. I've never considered switching, but I am thinking about it now.

Why is Dreamhost so good? Sorry for these questions just want to make a good decision.

And hostgator is at the top of my list.

Why is Dreamhost so good?

I was with Dreamhost for a year before moving to Bluehost - at that time Dreamhost had a $9.99 for the year hosting deal with a domain included.

I found it very good, particularly:
- excellent uptime - approx 1 x 10 min outage per month according to pingdom
- ability to have addon domains which were not a subdomain of the main domain - each addon was a new folder within the home directory.
- according to domaintools there were only 15 other domains on my server compared to 2000 or so on bluehost.

But I'm also very happy with Bluehost - the Dreamhost deal did not last
