Probably, one of the new grid/cluster services (such as Netfirms Enterprise) would be your best bet. Do you mind my asking what you will be hosting?

I think you need to re-evaluate your needs. 1TB is pretty hefty and I am sure will cost a pretty penny.

As Dan from GlobalWeb suggested, a clustered solution should be your best bet. Also, take a look at www.mediatemple.net - they have a lot of higher-end solutions that should most likely fit your requirements.
What exactly are you hosting?

I think you should talk with a host that can provide custom package,
or someone who can do specialized dedicated server setup (and optionally maintainance).
For a host using big filer, I don't think 1TB is a problem.
Even DreamHost provides a shared hosting package with 500GB disk and 5TB BW.
Better hosts can come up with quote if you use the WHT's quote feature, I guess.

The question is are you just looking for 1 TB space to have enough, or do you need 1 TB of RAW data?
If we're talking raw data, it's not going to be inexpensive. Hopefully with 1 TB of data you can make some sort of ROI from it.
As for if it's "just in case", maybe aim a little lower
Maybe you should go to a dedicated environment, just a suggestion though.██ Automated Tendencies - Brand Management Agency from Baltimore, Maryland.

Are you just using it as a backup source, or are you streaming / giving it to other people to listen to online?

Art, i guess get a dedicated server with big hard disk. I would not recommend storing your audio files under shared hosting account, just in case, your host deleted them because your account contain more mp3 than html files. That is consider as storage which most hosts don't allow.

I'm looking for a server that only I will be using. And yes, it will be for streaming.

Artemchik,
1) Whats your budget ?
2) Where MAINLY are your target customers (Country, evt. Town) ?
3) How many concurrent users ?
4) I do assume its non critical material (non scienetology) etc. ?
I guess its easier to go from there.__--- Nils Valentin ---

Well, I'm hoping it will be from $100-$250 if possible. And this will be for the whole United States and some other countries, but mostly US. I don't know about the concurrent users. And yes, it is non-critical material.
Does anyone know where I can find a server with 1TB of space and enough bandwidth? I can also buy my own server and stick it into a server farm, is it possible? And how much would it cost?

If it's not critical, and IF you are fine with http streaming, using two (or more) budget hosting account can be the easiest and cheapest method.
Recently, there was someone reporting to be using 6 to 7 TB of bandwidth per month,
using 3 servage.net accounts.
You would need four accounts to have 1TB, though.
It will cost you only $40 / month (or less, using coupon).
You can have 1TB of disk using two DreamHost's highest plan.
And you have the MAX bandwidth of 10 TB per month, and also their new YouTube like flash streaming feature.
(They do support apple type streaming, too, I think.)
Two of biggest account costs about $100 per month.
As you have 97 days money back garantee, not much of risk trying out.
If you qualify as IRS's non-profits status, you can get one, free , too.
Also, there are many other hosts who offer free or discounted hosting for non-profits with papers.
Karl from Utropicmedia said he will gladly offer business class streaming for free if you have the status, for example.
(I don't know if he is willing to offer 1TB of storage and the bandwidth that goes with it or not, though.)
This thrad has some info about generous hosts.

Best thing you might be able to do is find a provider who can do software RAID-0 across 2x500GB disks and install the OS it. Be warned though you will have no redundancy and a failure of one disk will result in the loss of all your data. IF you are willing to do that then you should be fine

A RAID-5 with 3x500GB drives will do you nice. Redundant, too. I'd hate to see that array have to rebuild, though.

You would need 3 x 750GB drives in RAID5.

Thread moved to Dedicated Server Forum.
Maybe someone can actually point the OP to some hosting companies that can provide what he's after.

What sort of processing power do you need? And what are your bandwidth requirements? A server with that much space through a provider will be expensive, and co-locating a server would probably make itself worth while within a year or shortly thereafter.
