help! my lunarpages hosting is about to go AWOL!

[sross]

My vb3 forum has grown too large for Lunarpages weak ass hosting and they've moved me to a temporary server and I have 7 days to leave! I need an extremely reliable, fast host with cpanel, and can pay up to $60 a month. I'd like a host that is not reselling, does not oversell, and has 24/7 on site support. I need atleast 1500gig storage and 70gigish data transfer to allow for growth. I'd like to hear from people with vbsites supporting 3,000+ users, high traffic, and are extremely happy with their hosting. Uptime is key for my site. Thanks so much for any advice!

.. and you expect to get those specs for $60?

[sross]

well, I had those specs on lunarpages for $22 a month, but they canned me saying I was using too much cpu. I'm not sure what to do really. Risk another shared host telling me I use too much cpu, or go with a dedicated server and break the bank

1500gig storage and 70gigish data transfer to allow for growth.

You sure you don't have those numbers backward?

If so you can try www.servermatrix.com if you can muster enough for a good down payment you can get a great monthly rate. Check them out at www.webhostingtalk.com or just visit thier forums and ask around.

lol sorry 1.5 gig data 70gb transfer. I'm thinking about going with realwebhost.net semi-dedicated package, 89 a month, i hear good things about them. guess i'll have to take the plunge to find out..

[sross]

well i've gone with the realwebhost.net package, semi-dedicated hosting. fingers crossed. So far so good, their owner is pulling over my cpanel backup to make the trasition pretty easy..

Check out http://anywherehost.com/. Their E-commerce package on the right has 60G transfer and 1400MB storage for $10.95. I just put up a forum Ask Me Help Desk that I'm working on converting from YaBB Gold right now.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot... Lunarpages sucks! (They banned a couple of my sites even though I was within their parameters.)

i could maybe do it.. dont know tho as cpu is a bit crummy about 1ghz.. so dunno but can handle upto 700gb of transfer a month and has a good 25gb of disk space free

For $99.00 a month you could get a dedicated server and make up the money by hosting a few sites for your buddies.

1500gig storage? You are kidding right.
