Hi, I could use a hand finding a new host. I was using dellz, but with their new change from unlimited ( i know and knew it wasn't unlimited truly) to 250 meg for $96. I know this is a reasonable price, but I really need a lot of space and bandwidth. I'm probably the kind of customer that most hosts hate, lol but what the hell I might as well ask.

Is there anyway I could get about a gig of space or more if possible for about $20 per month or so? I'm willing to move on this number quite a bit since I'm trying to be somewhat realistic. I know many may find this funny, but I'm not making money off the site I'm trying to make, its more of a hobby so I don't want to shell out a load of cash for the server. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

$20 for 1GB of Space would be possible ...how much bandwidth do you need? :)

oh man, a lot, I'm not sure. I'm doing an anime/gaming site with a friend of mine and I'm estimating over 5000 hits per day. About 1000 visitors. I'm not sure how much it would come out to for something like that.

Hi,

For 19.95 per month when paid semi-annually or annually, you would get:

- 500MB space
- 20,000MB monthly bandwidth
- Static IP
- 50 Sub-Domains
- 250 POP3
- PHP4/CGI/SSI/SSH/5 MySQL db
- much more

If paid month-to-month, then it's $23.95 per month.

What's the average page size? Including HTML and images ...that should be a way to estimate howmuch bandwidth you need.

my site is not done yet, but it is going to be about britney spears and christian aguilera, it will include pictures (lots) and audio, and also music videos, and other videos, so i'm guessing that i will use more than 40+ but just to be safe, i want 50+

HAHOST your offer of unlimited bandwidth seems tgtbt, whats the real limit, when I was with dellz, they said "Just so you know, the test account we let you use to test before signing up had more than 2GB of bandwidth on it in less than a day"
but this was after I left them, with a site that was only 150mg. Do you think you would be able to host me aswell. I expect my site to grow, and take up all of the 800mb you offer. my site will basicaly consist of .mov files, html, jpgs and .gifs

you can see the site as it was with the dellz test account at

let me know

However I would like to expand it to include more short film.

Thank you

Hi Jason:
I reviewed your site today and see no problem in hosting you for this site. This hosting company was built to cater to larger sites. I have 5 servers at the present time. I have a client now that is using a little over 20 gigs her site is called: http://www.whocutthecheez.com she is a comedy site with large amounts of usage. Take a look at her site,and that will give you an idea.

Thank you,

Hey coolguy23:
Thank you and I am aware of the situation. I have been working on the problem with my provider which is Card Services International. You have an option of using my company pay pal account which is secure or mailing a check. The account is under Hoopes & Associates
