My site consumes about 1.5GB RAM at peak and transfers 200GB per month.

People pay a much larger amount for hosting and it comes with hosting popular and active sites.

Your 60$ with a host such as crocweb or innohosting would be much better spent but that's just my opinion. Those hosts don't lure customers with the promise of "unlimited". Nothing is unlimited Max.

I've had no problems. I also don't have a political bias against godaddy.

I suppose I'm just too small to ever have challenged the "unlimited" claim. I only have 4,000 members on my forum, only 300 or so are daily active. My size and load is comparable to what the OP posted, this is why I am sure he is having "problems" because his host is blowing smoke up his ass. Mine doesn't do that, at least never to me.
