Can anyone help me with a decent hosting service that will allow me to use 30GB bandwidth monthly? I'm trying to avoid the high costs of dedicated hosting (natch). I run a phpBB forum and need somewhere that won't choke when I use the bandwidth. Any recommendations?

Thanks!

Do you want UK-based web host or will US-based web host do the job? How much is your budget?

cheers,

I admit that I'm not very tech savvy...so, does it matter where my hosting is based? I'm in the UK.

I'm open to offers right now. I need very reliable hosting and good support.

I've still not found what I need as far as hosting. Basically, I need a solution where I do not have to do any admin except for managing my HTML and phpBB forum (via phpMyAdmin).

I want the ease of use of a control panel where I can ftp directly into a pre-configured server which will support the phpBB forum and html files. I am not a web administrator and am not technical. I am a web designer and don't want to get involved in the web admin. I also would prefer not to have to pay high prices for monthly support.

Basically, I need a web host that can handle 20GB / mo. transfer (due to the popular forum) WITHOUT me having to do any web admin is all. Does it exist? I do not have unlimited funds as I am running this website on my own without other parties involved. I would be willing to pay up to $70 per month (£50). I am located in the UK.

Please someone help. Thanks very much.

This might be in the wrong forum.

*Tries to push this down a few forums to the web hosting request forum*

If only I had Chicken's muscles :(.
