Bluehost gets heavily promoted too because it has a generous affiliate program :-) Yes I’ve heard of issues with Bluehost – even 50 visits a day is about 49 more than most websites get and hosting companies like Bluehost would have considered you as a heavy user with those figures LOL.

When I first started making websites I bought what I thought was a great package - buy a year's cheap hosting and get a free domain name (or was it the other way around?) Anyway, I ended up giving up three nice domain names after a couple of years because I wanted to move to a new host. My original hosts were going to charge me a lot of money to transfer the domains as they weren't technically mine. I didn't have a leg to stand on. I have learnt my lesson and I now use domain.com for TLDs and a UKReg for my local sites, with all of them hosted on the lovely Hostgator Baby Croc plan - great value for money and excellent service!

I had around 15 wordpress sites on an 'unlimited' package and I started to get downtimes due to excess resource use. I didn't have a lot of visitors, maybe 150 per day tops per site with most sites getting around 50 or less. It seemed to be related to the use of the Wordpress plugin you mentioned that backs up your database as the downtimes coincided with the times this was running. They shut me down and I had a hard time even getting my files. They didn't issue any warnings and were very slow to even answer my emails. I moved all of the sites to Hostgator (still using the plugin) and even with an increase in the no of websites I have had no problems at all. Hi Lis
