Hi,

I am looking for a dedicated server provider that is most importantly reliable.

My other concerns are bandwidth as my site is a hungry site that would probable need more than a 100 GB data transfer due to the format of my files.

What companies are most reliable with good pricing for per 1 gb of additional data transfer?

Pretty much any provider can offer you 100GB cheap. Just do your research on any provider you go with since most of em around here are run by children.

You could post the specs for the system along with any network/speed requirements in Web Hosting Requests. You will get a ton of offers from diff hosts. Just find one you like and do some research on them before signing up. Be sure to check on there setup times, refund policy, support, aup etc.

Thank man. However I want actual comments (recommendations) from user preferably. Also i don't really know who are the 'children' but want the safest bet. Price is a factor but realibility supercedes it.

Reliability cost money. I would recommend to find out where the data center is, and how the network is being setup. The more entry points you have, the better.

Another thing is that if the bandwidth is burstable, how strong is the peering, and so on. A lot of time, network failures are caused by router/switch, and what would be the backup plan, etc.

A good network administrator will pay attention to the detail and redundancy. :)
