Hosting problems!

Last few days I am again having problems with my hosting provider. After I changed Fly High to Cats Nine reseller I was very satisfied for almost 6 months and then troubles are starting. Server Eli which is located in London Blue Square constantly has issues, first connectivity, then usage and finally firewall. I can’t say anything against the Cats Nine since their support was always quick and they always responded fast, but it’s almost 20 days and they can’t solve the issue. What is more ironic my old hosting where I have few sites is currently passing 383 days of uptime. I don’t remember when I needed to contact them, but I don’t want to put more sites there since I don’t like to have all eggs in one casket.

While I still don’t think to leave Cats Nine I started investigating another hosting options, especially VPS packages, but it looks my budget is still small for the mentioned managed service.

According to the Web Hosting Reviews and threads on WHT it looks Blue Host would be nice solution even it is not full reseller. But then problem is that I need WHM, even I don’t sell hosting, I have few clients who want their independent cPanels. Other option is well known Host Gator another big name. So as Blue Host they offer everything unlimited which is IMHO impossible. Sooner or later you will cross some invisible line which will lead to an account suspension.

Anyway, now let’s go back to the further research. I would appreciate some good hosting suggestions from your personal opinions. Reseller is not a condition, but mostly reliable hosting with 99.9 uptime and where I can put at least 50 small sites, every up to 1000 UV daily. Not more then 5 GB of space. Good support, which know what they are doing is a must have.
