Download Server VPS Option?
Hello everyone,
What i am after is simple. I currently have an unlimited* (*sigh) account with streamline.net which has been very good to me for 4+ years. However my requirements have now changed and hosting larger files is against the policy of the webhost :(.
I need a solution which can allow me to host files which are between 100mb and 500mb. This is for a backup solution (700mb-1gb backup nightly) and a map download site for a gameserver. Webhosting will be very limited.
Total Bandwidth: Backup 40gb / month
Gameserver Files 75gb/ month
Nothing special as you can see but i believe there are cheap VPS' at £5/month? These would be ideal if they are suitable. Can anyone reccomend a cheap VPS host? Im still going to use streamline as my basic webhosting but downgrade my account to a very small package for my personal web use and use the VPS as the fileserver.
The thing is on streamline i had download speeds of 1.3mb/sec (my maximum) all the time and im looking for somthing which can give good download speeds.
Any surggestions?
Thanks,
Curver

I have found a company jshosts.com/vps .html has anyone heared of them or used them? They seem to have a low end VPS package at £49.99 yearly with enough space and bandwidth. The total drive speace needed is only about 6gb and their basic provides 10gb and gives more than enough bandwidth.
Or annother alternative: valuevps .co.uk which give the same but slightly less bandwidth but do state higher download speeds. But do offer the installation of free control pannels to help reduce cost.
