I keep hearing the Data Storage and Data Transfer are low. I basically got it to practice coding and making my own site. So at first I guess the specs don't matter since I will just be programming it and making it my own in my free time. But after that I am thinking of going to a true host with better storage and bandwidth.

So I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction to a host that is really good and reliable with a good amount of bandwidth and storage, or let me know if what I have is good. Like I said it is first going to be more myself to mess around on and try to make my own site then try and move it to another host and take it from there.

Its not low at all. Bandwidth is good as long as your not hosting videos and stuff. Storage is also good unless you plan on hosting large files. The average user doesnt use up near 2GB of space.

Yeah it should be fine as long as there survers are stable. Dont listen to any of these people. Most of them dont know what they are talking about and want unlimited everything. But me I have been into this for roughly 5 years. I have ran a hosting server. Ran a school server. You get what you pay for.

Everything Unlimited for $5 a month. What kind of support would you expect?
1 Gig of space and 10 gigs of bandwidth for $5 a month. What kind of support would you expect?

Seriously some people need to think about that. They want everything for nothing.

I suggest hostgator.com ... I can get you one month free, if you still looking for hosting
