Please try innohost or for VPS, try prometeus. You'll love it. Prometeus are very cheap (for VPS and the quality they provide)

The OP never had godaddy, I have and do. And have had zero problems. I posted my specs and costs, I would appreciate you posting a comparison just for edification. Specs and cost on Prometeus, for example, please.

99% of the rants against godaddy are politically motivated.

Max, your account isnt a standard godaddy vhost account, thats something your not looking at, your on a reseller server, which is different, even though godaddy rep's service you, doesnt mean much, each case is different for someone speaking with them, ive spoken to a few of their rep's when working on a customers site hosted with them, 90% of their reps are tards & they dont have the technical skill to read beyond & help if its not on their TelePrompter.....

I don't know what a vhost is, as I explained before.

The server is the same one godaddy uses universally, secureserver dot net, the reseller as I said, has nothing to do with it. I get the same product and service I would get if I had signed up via the godaddy site. It's just the standard "deluxe shared" hosting godaddy offers via it's named site.

Now, about the comparison shopping? I want to see how much better the host you recommend is, please.

vhost = virtual hosted acct, not a vps.

The server wouldnt be the same, did you ask the guy who has the server if it has ram/cpu/disk i/o limits?

Godaddy limits everyones resources, the server your on may be serviced by godaddy rep's it doesnt mean its setup the same way as one of their customer vhost servers with resource limits applied to it.

That's, speculation. I have had no limits in the eight years I have had the service. I'm still politely waiting for the comparison you alluded to - I'm not shopping, understand. I just want to see details on the hosting you're recommending.

yes, I did that last week when the problems started.

Did you actually move all the old ones or just make the change effective to just new ones?

What if any difference did it make for SQL size?

Its not speculation, your comparing apples & oranges on two different account types.
"Shared Deluxe." It's unlimited bandwidth, sites and storage, $60 annually.

That which you posted isnt the same as a standard vhost package godaddy offers, nor is it on the same type of server.

You should actually ask your friend, not speculate like you are about knowing what his reseller server has limit wise for its customers, versus what godaddy does on its simple vhosted server for NON deluxe accounts.

I checked it, on godaddy's site. The packages are identical. Therefore it's not speculation.

Still, for some reason despite my politely asking several times, you fail to provide the comparison you asserted re: innhost and/or Prometeus. I am curious and interested to see the product/cost comparison.

Link or it ain't true! I am not trying to be contentious, I'm just curious to see.

[snakes1100]

i didnt ever mention either of those hosts, you might want to go back a page and see who actually posted those lol

The basic & deluxe packages are NOT identical.

It also doesnt mean that the servers each site are on are identical as to the way their limits are set up for each one.
