Not sure which forum cat. this belongs in..
So I apologize if it is incorrect.

----

I am in need of a dedicated server for a website
[ http://www.gaming-age.com ]. The site is currently fully hosted by a
network, and do not have any resource or bandwidth restrictions. But,
the Network is no longer hosting affiliates, so we need to find the site a
home.
We rather not have to close down after 5 years.

We don't need tons of disk space (only have 6 gigs after 4 years), but
we seem to use up a lot of bandwidth occasionally. It's a videogame
site, so we post a lot of screenshots and the occasional movie
sometimes. Supposedly the bandwidth can reach 100 - 150 GB/month
or so (we would plan on somehow capping it to 50 GB/month if
possible), but the sys admins at our network are a bit flaky and can't
get us exact numbers. Bandwidth is an issue

Also, we have/had a forum that brings in over 10,000+ posts/reads a
day. But that sucks up some serious resources and am willing to drop it
if we have no choice.

We are only a fan site and run the site as a hobby, and can only afford
what our ads and online revenue streams bring in, and that definitely
isn't above $300/month right now. Willing to advertise hosting company
right at very top of each and every page, or make some similar deals to
keep costs down.

Our requirements...
Linux/Apache/PHP/MYSQL/Control Panel combo
512 RAM (rather upgrade from 256 to 512 w/ onetime fee)
10+ GB HD
50+ GB/month (our main issue)
10 - 20 IPs (in case we need to resell to make up costs)

Anyway, that's our story.
Please feel free to reply or better yet, respond to: jim@gaming-age.com


Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
We need to make a decision within the next few weeks.

Thanks!
