How much ram enough...?

Nobody can tell you the answer that you need, as the software you're using is unknown. You could try to ask the software developer (and mention any plugins that you're using as well). Stil, you can never really know, until you test it: http://loadimpact.com/

Recommendations

Usually you can find the limits put on email sending, in the host's help/support/knowledgebase. In the case of Bluehost, it would appear that the limit, by default, is: https://my.bluehost.com/cgi/help/469 That being said, after having tried Bluehost's sister (and almost identical) brand...

Addon domain folder structure

You could look into using a 301 redirect so that the subdomain/sub-directory is redirected to wordpress-addondomain.com. Alternatively, when you installed Wordpress (maybe using Fantastico?) its "website url" was misconfigured, so it needs to be corrected...

Netfirms domains become Tucows

Netfirms got bought by Endurance International Group, which also owns ipowerweb, powweb, easycgi, dot5hosting among many other hosts. Their most recent buyouts include Justhost, Bluehost (aka Hostmonster) and now Netfirms. Pretty soon all the hosting accounts will probably be transfered to...

Too many subdomains on one hosting account?

While that sort of usage is probably a bit outside the norm, the subdomains will not cause trouble on their own. The trouble will come with the added traffic, and the type of websites. If they're database reliant, try to use the software's cache feature/addon to make them more static, which will...

GoDaddy VS Blue host?

I should probably note that downtime was quite limited in my experience as well.

GoDaddy VS Blue host?

Nope. Bluehost and Hostmonster are. As for Godaddy vs Bluehost, I'd say the optimum choice is neither. But if you really had to choose one, the choice would probably be Bluehost. Godaddy's been slow all the time in my experience.

2 websites

Yes, hosting multiple domains on a single shared hosting account is quite common. No, it won't slow down your site, unless you have very heavy traffic or the site's scripts are poorly written and tax the server, in which case you'll probably hear from your host anyway, asking you to upgrade to a...

These fellows were trying to host their sites on their PCs. They have no hosting provider to contact. ;)

Need help choosing web hosting service, please

Godaddy's shared hosting has been, in my experience, terribly slow. Uptime was not all that bad, but overall it's not worth using for dynamic (relying on scripts and databases). Your usage levels don't seem excessive, but do try not to install to many WP plugins. Usually it is one of those...

Evaluate my hosting options

Rather hard to determine reliability: the uptime guarantee is no gauge (it's always, ultimately, just a monetary guarantee), and uptime reports from actual customers will almost always be very vague and unreliable.

You might want to take a look at this, as it may turn out that Hostgator is all you really need to pay for: http://support.hostgator.com/articles/pre-sales-questions/what-is-cloudflare

Evaluate my hosting options

I'm afraid that is innacurate, going by the nameservers history: http://www.hosterstats.com/historicaldns.php?domain=javapapers.com The domains has been hosting my Mediatemple for years now. As for comparison to Goadddy/Hostgator, based on my experience I can assure you that the site...

GoDaddy vs NameCheap

I didn't have problems with Godaddy as a registrar. However, I didn't have problems with Namecheap either, and I will probably move my 1 domain that's at Godaddy there as well. Having only a few domains, I don't find the $4/domain/year that I could save with Godaddy to be a huge attraction...

JustHost... disappointment

It is very likely that the representative you're referring to was not properly trained, or misunderstood your question. Always rely on the written contract, rather than advice from an employee who is not invested with the right to negotiate contracts. Virtually all hosts will retain a sum of...

HawkHost or Hostgator

Hawkhost has a pretty good reputation over at webhostingtalk.com. Personally though, I've been using Hostgator shared hosting for a long time now (8 years I think) and I've always been satisfied with them.

Hosting for a wallpaper website

Matt above is wise. If you go for the VPS solution, it's worth trying to get something like nginx implemented (either your host or a third party admin could help). It can do wonders for serving static files, of which you'll have many.
