Need a new hosting provider for a photo-intensive blog

Hello FOLKS…

Like many of you, I have a blog that doesn’t generate any revenue, so I try to keep my expenses down. For the last 10 years, I’ve been using a basic plan from HostGator, but they’ve just restructured their pricing, and now they’re telling me I need their “Pro” plan, which is more than double the cost of the basic plan.

Given the significant price increase, I think I’d rather switch providers. My blog is photo-intensive, with 50 to 100 GB of image files, so I need a host that can accommodate this without breaking the bank.

Does anyone have recommendations for reliable, cost-effective hosting providers that can handle a large number of images? :wink:

Hi Liz,

I totally understand the concern about the cost increase. For a photo-intensive blog, you’ll want a hosting provider that offers good storage options without being too pricey. Here are a few suggestions:

  1. SiteGround – They offer excellent performance and support with plans that include ample storage. Their cloud hosting might be a good fit for you if you’re looking for scalability.

  2. Bluehost – Known for their affordability and reliability, Bluehost provides a decent amount of storage with their plans, and they’re also quite good with WordPress sites.

  3. A2 Hosting – They offer fast speeds and reliable service, with plans that include considerable storage options.

  4. DreamHost – They have a variety of plans with generous storage limits and are generally known for good customer service.

  5. Hostinger – A more budget-friendly option that still provides good storage and performance.

It might be worth checking out their plans to see which one fits your needs best in terms of storage and cost.

Hope this helps!

I switched from HostGator last year. Let’s compare notes

A2 Hosting offers great uptime and their plans are flexible, which was perfect for my needs.
