Good info on the anti-hotlinking software, can that not be done with htaccess files?
Or what's the added value?
If you plan on hosting movie clips, 1000GB would probably not be sufficient for your needs (unless you just submit freesites from time to time).

Bandwidth hosting is so cheap nowadays, that pricing shouldn't be much of a concern. If you're really strapped for cash, go with Cogent bandwidth dedicated hosts.

Anti-hotlinking can be done with htaccess, do a search on Google for some tutorials. It's a crude method, but it works to block people who don't want to spend time trying to hotlink your files.
