I'm tasked with looking for reliable hosts/virtual private servers with major storage. I need at least 50gb storage but could use upward of 250gb +, with backup + around 100 gb bandwidth.

I see a lot of high bandwidth hosts but they all offer limited storage.

I'm willing to pay more for a quality, I don't want some scammy flake out company.

Any tips?

If you need that much storage.. head on over to ev1servers.net and get a dedicated server.

Thanks to both of you.

The ev1 looks closer to what I was thinking... in fact I think I looked at them once before a while ago...and I agree I probably need a dedicated.

Is ev1 better than Westhost? I've had pretty good luck with them on a virtual private but they seem more expensive than the ev1?

If you know server administration, ev1.net would probably be your best bet, however, those servers are unmanaged so if you don't know a whoot about server admin, you'll need to find you a managed server.

Another company to take a look at would be either:

SM and TP are at the same DC. One company (TP) just caters to a higher market of hosting. I can vouch for the service being great from them. They also offer management packages.

Ah yes, SM and TP are also a good recommendation. I have a few servers with them - so far.. all been well, support over the phone is very helpful, etc.

You could always take this lot up on their offer of unlimited webspace http://www.getdotted.com/

No maybe not.... :)
