Are you looking for a reseller account, where you host your client's domains on your space?

Also, do you need those specs for each of your two accounts, or you need that much space + bandwidth total?

the specs listed i split between the account. one account only needs like 100mb's and 2g transfer or so. and no i dont resell the space. i only host who i design, if they dont have hosting already. i do it out of my pocket.

also. i want as cheap as possible im paying 9.95/mo right now.

In this forum, you can get recommendations for hosts. If you want hosts to give you offers, you'll need to post in the Web Hosting Requests forum. When you do post your request, if you want two separate accounts, post the specs for one, and then the specs for the other. They can be in the same post, just break out the bandwidth and disk space differences. That will better help hosts know what you're looking for versus what they can provide.

EDIT / MISREAD: You might want to check out HostMatters. They aren't the lowest prices around, but the service is very good - and since you left your last host because of service problems, you might give HM a try. You may have to ask for a customised plan, though, because of the disk space you're asking for. They don't have a 400 MB / 8 GB plan available as standard; and the number of subdomains you want may also be a negotiating point.

I cant really say much as ive only been with HostGator.com since this morning but so far so good. They have so far execellent customer support as ive done pestered the poor person 5 times i believe and instant response for each time.

Please say it's not so.....

Price is the last thing you should be worried about, service; server and network reliability should be the priority. Spenix.com has been very good for me for the last 9-months and HostMatters.com is also very good as mentioned in this thread.
