Outgrown My GoDaddy Windows Shared Hosting Plan - Where Next?

Hi all,

I'm getting a lot of 503 (Service Unavailable) errors with my sites on GoDaddy. It's affecting ALL my sites, so my guess is I'm being throttled in terms of server resources. They come back when I restart the Application Pool.

So I wondered what the next step up is from a shared hosting plan?

I suppose I could buy a second GoDaddy hosting plan, and split my sites between plans.

I did look at VPS, but I use a fair bit of bandwidth (1-2Gb a day) so the unlimited bandwidth shared hosting plans offer is great.

I don't think I'm ready for a dedicated server.

Other hosting companies are an option, but there are so many I don't know where to start :confused:.

If anyone can recommend other mid-range hosting plans, I need ASP.NET 4.5, 1Gb MySQL databases, lots of bandwidth and the ability to use web services.

I'll add at this point that I've generally been pretty happy with GoDaddy's Windows hosting. The only no-no's I've had are running Wordpress on it, or using MVC 5 (it's too new).

IMPORTANT: Before you reply, I'm talking about Windows (IIS/ASP.NET 4.5) hosting, NOT Linux/Unix. Moving to LAMP is NOT on the table .
