High bandwidth - low cost host
I've made a site that requires loads of bandwidth (no, its nothing illegal) but im a student and cant afford to buy anything dedicated, so ive been looking around...a lot :|
ive scanned a huuuuuuge amount of hosts, looking for reviews etc, but im not sure wot to chose, either i get incredibly low offers at extremely high prices or the other way around, does anyone know a good host with loads of bandwidth?
im most interested in the following, anyone know if they are reliable?

hostony.com

duhdeeh,
As long as they don't provide 'unlimited bandwidth' or 'unlimited space' - they can be a consideration.
Search the WHT forums and you'll certainly come up with a review or two from any host you're thinking of going with.

I've heard mixed reviews about hostony - broken english support and lack thereof. Haven't heard anything about the other one good or bad.
Powweb is a good choice for high bandwidth hosting.Rich

Just to make it clear, a hosting offer sent by PM is still spam as per the rules of this board.
I suggest everyone to concentrate on reviewing the hosts that were already mentioned in the thread by the OP:
hostinginsiders.com
hostony.com
poweweb.com
site5.com
hostingfreak.net
Thank you!

I wouldn't go with a host that offers huge amounts of bandwidth at super low prices. Most companies mentioned so far look like they are overselling drasticly, which can lead to problems down the road.
