Here we go again... There is no such thing as "unmetered" hosting.
Even if some claim to offer that, there will always be some fine print....
It is far more honest to do it the way serious hosts do: state upfront that you have such-and-such limits. The "unmetered" ones just do that in a more sneaky way.

Most hosts with 20 gigs of bandwidth (or even 10 for that matter) or more you will almost never use.
If you can use more than that, then you're probably not gonna be looking for a cheap solution.<<< Please see Forum Guidelines for signature setup. >>>

Sting13, what do you anticipate your needs to be.
What you are paying now is no longer in what we would consider to be the budget range.
From your original post people might get the idea that you are looking for the world for very little money.
You should look into a VPS solution. For the same money you can get 200gb from ServInt.

Usually when people on this forum mean cheap they are thinking in the range of 10 and under.

Cheers,
Not if you pay 6 months in advance and what do you mean it requires more attention for security?
Have you ever had a VPS server from ServInt?

Just take a look in the shared and reseller offers section on this forum, and you should easily find what you are looking for. Just make sure to do a little research here or search on those hosts that you are interested in looking at.

If you look around, you will find that many web hosts offer more then 30gb for $40/month. Look in the 'shared and reseller offers' section and you will find many decent deals.
Best of luck with your search

<sarcasm>Yes, I found the perfect place for you, 20GB space, 500GB B/W, for only $5.95/month.

There is NO good host that offers anytype of Unlimited Space or Bandwidth, its just plain and simple.
The BEST Unlimited hosting is finding a cheap (not $30, but around ~$65+) server at a place like Sagonet, Liquid Web, Ezzi, etc. Then you can split it with one/two people and you have a much better solution. (Still not recomended though, but it is better than buying hosting from a Teen, and comming back here in 2 weeks crying b/c you lost 20GB of your files)

I was looking for an unmetered server, not a web host.....
I agree about there being no unlimited bandwidth and disk space, I am looking for some affordable 10-25mbit unmetered servers.

That's totally untrue. Unmetered simply means they cap your transfer rate - but allow you to use whatever you can with no per GB, etc. limit.
Don't confuse unlimited with unmetered. Those are two COMPLETELY different things. Unmetered is totally doable and totally honest.

He didn't ask for unlimited...he asked for UNMETERED.
It really angers me when people slam 'unmetered' hosts, by assuming it is the same as 'unlimited'. Why? Because you are giving them a bad name and perpetuating misinformation. Its just not fair.

For 40$ a month(actually less than that), you can get a VPS on www.spry.com. It has 1.5mbps connection(400gb per month roughly, but speed limit of 1.5mbps)
Also you can try shared host as well, i am currently with www.hostingzoom.com on their 100gb bandwidth package and i am very happy.

Its not easy, with the standard commercial control panels, but it is not impossible or unethical to offer unmetered bandwidth for a shared hosting account as well.
