High Bandwidth Hosting needed

[dolphineus]

Hey folks

I am running a new interactive website for Stargate fans. Unfortunately we have out grown our server (it allows 30gb a month).

In our first six weeks we have accumulated over 700 members, and this month alone so far we have used over 14gb of our alloted transfer. We estimate that our membership will double if not treble over the coming months.

So, we need a host with a lot of bandwidth and the following:

at least 500Mb of disc space
at least 100Gb of transfer per month
PHP 4
Mysql database (1 is ok, 2 or 3 would help)
NO BANNER or POPUP adverts
Unlimited FTP access

All suggestions and offers appreciated
Dolph

I would look into a dedicated server.

Hi

dolphineus, I was wondering what was your budget?

 

[Daniel]

If you know how to run a server:

http://www.rackshack.net/

 

[Editor]

Dolph, I agree with the comments you have received already. It might be time to look at a dedicated solution, with perhaps a maintence and administration contract in place if you don't have the type of staff on hand to handle that. But unless you specificly ask for that, it's really not withn the board rules to make any offer for such services, so can you confirm whether you're specificly looking for a shared hosting slot at this point or are open to other suggestions.

Kind regards

Gary

I think dedicated is the way to go for such high bandwidth.

The deal seems to be exactly the same as unitedcolo except the price is doubled.
So, what extra service(s) do you added?

I am not getting anything for pimping this site, I am just suggesting a plan from a company that may suit your needs. Take care, and good luck with your site.

Internap Bandwidth with several tier 1 providers, but I believe they are cogent based inbound.

========================

They are still new as a company despite what they may tell you. They have a huge thread going in the WHT dedicated forums found here:

http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?threadid=75612

Very nice deals. I would buy some servers for myself for my upcoming host company I'm putting together, but I am waiting a few months too make sure they're still around then.

 

[dolphineus]

Thanks for the feedback folks

I'll go back to my associates and present the options

Hopefully by then, they still have some servers at that price and has not decided to raise their pricing

There are some hosts out there that have some internap bandwith, but very few that has _only_ internap bandwith

 

[Daniel]

Well, when I get a job, I'll certainly go with them...that is, they don't go belly-up.

If you read around WHT, you'll see the unitedcolo pricing is introductory. This would mean the pricing will go up sooner or later. Also, I believe the Cogent bandwidth is in a BGP. People have posted that both incoming and outgoing rarely takes the Cogent route.
