Hey all, i'm the webmaster of Operation Flashpoint Français a fan site about the game Operation Flashpoint (duh ;) ). Currently I got homestead.com as host but I have get myshelf to HTML and do not need that poor hosting and a lot more webspace.

What I need: 200 MB or more than that as much as possible. Lot's of bandwidth (because him going to have a lot of download) Maybe around 5 to 20 GB (not really sure). With a database if possible.

I have go trought some web hosting site, and I would like to know what you guys/girls think about them and what would be my best choice.

The first two hosts that you posted use Windows as their server platform, and using databases with windows can be tricky for newcomers. I suggest going with a *nix host that offers mySQL databases which are very easy to learn about. Also, *nix hosts tend to offer more stability and reliability than windows hosts.

You may want to search the forums for ecommerce, I know there are a few threads about them....

Ok thanks, i'll go with ecommercediscovery I think. It cost less than the two other and get more space/bandwidth.
