Hi. I recently switched from Dot5Hosting to hostmonster.com because of the frequent downtimes at dot5 + the excessively slow SQL server. Unfortunately, hostmonster.com just cancelled my account for overbandwidth. Ok I was using 20gb per day via a folder containing JPG files but they did say they offer 15TB monthly bandwidth (and I didnt have any problems over at Dot5)

My Question is.. am I going to get kicked out here too? =/

As for the site:
The main site is powered by Drupal 5.6 with 1097 users. Fortunately, only 5 users or so are online at the same time. I also have throttling features enabled that actively work to reduce load to the server.

On the main site, there is a Gallery2 application, and like above, there are throttling mechanisms that reduce load to the web server and is configured in a way for shared hosting environments. (Caching of images as raw files for example)

Finally, there's a myBB forum, but I dont think that's much of an issue since traffic there is very scarce.

Thanks for your time ^^

Sounds very odd they'd be tossing you out for that.  Did they give you any warnings or anything else to go by as far as the previous termination goes?  Anything as it relates to server resources perhaps?  By going with what you have told us here I don't think you should have any issues at all.

Thank you for the quick reply. Unfortunately, I had no warnings and I just received an email in my inbox that my account was going to be deleted within 30 days. I contacted support (via live chat) but after I told them the situation, they simply "left" me. (I actually left that chat window open all night, but of course, no response)

All right - I'll be making the switch here as soon as I confirm that hostmonster has refunded my account. I shouldnt have trusted the high reviews for host monster.. but then again, it was made up of only 7 users unlike Lunarpages, which has a high rating from over 240 users.

Anyways, thanks for all your help Smile

Also, I'm guessing I cant use both the "spring" coupon and transfer the leftover hosting months from my old provider right?

Nope, afraid not - you can only use one coupon/offer per signup.  With the transfer deal, we can give you credit for up to 6 months of hosting, so might weigh both options and see which is the most valuable to you.
