If you have any suggestions for other facilities please advise.

on your Platinum plan, one could theoretically get exactly two visits before he goes over his b/w quota.. :crap:

I agree to prosayist. I would suggest you change tha amount of bandwidth a little bit. Compare your plans to the plans of the hosting companies that are already in business. You'll get a sense of a "good hosting plan". Anyway, Good Luck :)
