Looking for host that works well with file sharing & lots of MySQL commands

I'm looking for a webhost that's able to handle a file upload & sharing website, and is able to handle a lot of MySQL connections per minute.
I was thinking of either a VPS or a Cloud host located in East US.

I'd like to know what kind of specs these requirements would need and what your recommendations would be.

My budget is around $20 per month.

 

According to your budget go with a VPS

Try out HosttheName services they are offering in BST section

 

I think, HOSTGATOR is the best. Try it...

 

i prefer 1and1

 

You must work for them, they're almost as bad as godaddy...
Hostgator gets my vote - 3years and all problems delt with very fast.


How manys a lot?

 

Seconded. 1 and 1 easily fits into the "top 3 worst hosting providers ever" list.

Just get a VPS/dedi (depending on how much performance you actually need) from one of the large, reputable providers, such as HG or BlueHost.

 

HG and BlueHost's VPS servers are quite expensive. HostTheName seems interesting although I can hardly find any reviews of them on other websites.

 

Hey add me on skype, I would love to help you out with this

 

Thank you for all the info! I have been looking for a way to improve my works environment and this helped out a lot, so thanks again!

 

Use VPS ,better option for you.
