I use a dedicated server with HostGator (affiliate link) and I’m happy with it. The thing that has always frustrated me about many hosting sites is most offer unlimited shared website hosting. That’s all well and good but with three companies over the years, I was forced to either upgrade to a dedicated server or leave when I was supposedly paying for unlimited hosting on a shared account.

I understand that when the bandwidth started digging into other customers resources it becomes a problem but who asked them to dump my sites onto a server with 400 other websites? I just have a problem with the term ‘unlimited’ meaning unlimited until you reach the limit, then it’s too much.
