Hostnine - worst host, best avoided

Both my Hostnine accounts were disabled after a few months with the following message

We had to disable this account due to it crashing the server. The mail going in and out is way to much for a shared server. This need’s a dedicated server or to be moved off of hostnine’s servers.
And  I have not sent a single mail using Hostnine’s  servers , they seem to be a scam company, disabling accounts after a few months
 

Site5’s Plan to end all plans

I got this email

About Site5’s new “The Plan to End All Plans” super web hosting deal! We have really pulled out all of the stops on this one, and Site5 is now officially offering the best hosting deal in the industry. For just $7.50 per month (that works out to only .25 cents per day!), you get 750GB of RAID-protected and enhanced web storage, 7500GB (yeah, that’s NOT a typo) of bandwidth on our premium, world-class, network, and a slew of new features! 
 
For the remainder of this month, if you upgrade your current hosting plan to our new “The Plan to End All Plans” deal, you will receive 13% off on your order (and for the lifetime of the account) thanks to our limited time-only Halloween special promotion! 
 
If that wasn’t enough to get you excited, we are also exceedingly thrilled to inform you that Site5 is planning on launching toll-free PHONE SUPPORT within the next 3  8 weeks. The plans are already in motion, and we are just working out all of the kinks and bugs in our phone system before it goes live. What’s the catch? There is no “catch”, but there is a condition to qualifying for access to our upcoming phone support system. Toll-free phone support will only be available to customers that are paying us a minimum of $6.50 cents per month. If you are currently on a hosting plan that is paying less than this, you can upgrade now and be eligible to receive phone support once the program has officially launched. 
 
So what are you waiting for? Upgrade before the end of the month in order to take advantage of our 13% off Halloween special. Hurry, the offer expires October 31st at 11:59PM EST! 
 
You can upgrade your accounts simply by logging into Backstage, and requesting an upgrade

Tech support is not of much use, if you are not in USA

Finding a good webhost

I have a lot of websites and am always looking for cheap and reliable web hosting. There are many webhosting companies, but few are inexpensive and allow unlimited addon domains.  My sites do not take up server resources, so I cannot afford to pay more than $1-2 / year for hosting . All the reviews here are based on my personal experience. 

Site5’s New hosting package

Site5 had been offering cheap hosting for many months now , 50-165 websites, 1 IP address for $5 / month (if prepaid for 2 years). Now they have discontinued that package , but are  offering unlimited website hosting for $5/month. No free IP address is provided, you have  to pay $3 per month extra for the IP address and some other addons. They limit the maximum number of  files you can have in account to 25000, unlike Westhost where the limit is 600,000
