Hi all, sorry to invade your forum but I have been overwhelmed by information on the net and have need for some informed advice!
I am after some webhosting and anticipate that I will need the following:
- Unlimited bandwith! I anticipate that, during the first month of my website being put up I could easily have over say, 100gb+ of data being downloaded, it may be less but I don't want to take any chances - I need to know I have an unlimited amount as it could, potentially, surpass 500gb over the month. I suppose that if unlimited wasn't possible then I'd be wanting 5000gb to be absolutely comfortable that I definitely wouldn't reach any limit.
- About 1gb of webspace, even this could easily be less - I will not be uploading any particularly large files - the main emphasis is on distributing small files to many users
- My webspace will be based around flash and so will not need any 'features' as such, just basic webhosting will be fine, no e-commerce features or anything like that.
I'm not a business but am fully aware from the research I have just done at how much of a 'fallacy' unlimited webhosting is generally. I am willing to pay for a 'business' class of service provided I get what I want. Realistically, I am willing to pay around £50GBP or $100 for a RELIABLE solution. If, however, the solution I'm after is not possible at this price range I'd consider paying more.
I am not concerned at all about the location of the hosting as long as it is reliable - I am anticipating a global interest though I am located in England. I would imagine US-based hosting might be preferable? I am unsure on this....
To clarify the point is that I will have several small files (10-15mb each time approx.) that I will want to be available to many users. Perhaps there is some sort of solution for doing this while tying it to my webhosting?
Many thanks for all help, it is truly appreciated,
Neil
