Hi,

I am new to this list and I am looking for a hosting company. That's why I'm here. I have looked at SplashHost, Voxtreme, dot5hosting, gearhost and webstrikesolutions. Any suggestions? What bandwidth is best? Thanks

Are you talking about the ammount of bandwidth offered? - Or the provider?

If it's the ammount, it'd mainly depend on what your site requires.

My site is about 10-25megs with some light to moderate animation. I guess this is what you mean? I may have another site with the same amount.
Thanks

How much bandwidth do you need? I think that is what Synthetic means.

I really don't know. I am new to this. How much would I need for a 10-25mb website? Could you explain bandwidth? Thanks

Do you recevie a lot of hits? If so then you'll be needing a lot of bandwidth.

If your site is using between 15-25 megs of web space, I'm going to asume that it's relatively small. Though, I'm not sure of course. Determine the size of your audience, then come up with a close figure of how much bandwidth you'll need...

With a site 15-20 Meg big with light traffic, choose a plan with atleast 50 MB space ( just incase you grow) and atleast 3-5 gig bandwidth. Images do pull a lot of transfer if it gets popular.

Just my opinion :D
