Good & reliable host which is cheap for buying bandwidth in bulk

ILostMyPassword · 2004-05-09, 09:36 AM

This isn't for an adult venture so the host doesn't need to accept adult content, just thought a few of you here might do a lot of bandwidth & could give me some good recommendations.

I've already gotten a quote from my current host on this but seeing if there is cheaper around..

I'm looking for..

- Good host with awesome uptime
- No resellers
- Great support (Fast email support & ICQ would be good too).
- Fast connections & no speed capping
- No cogent bandwidth

As for bandwidth, I'm looking for a price for about 50TB/month.

Just FYI.... my current host has quoted me around $200/TB if I was buying 75TB/month but I have recently cut it down to 50TB/month.

Can this be had for cheaper whilst keeping a good quality host?

Please only recommend hosts you have experience with & don't recommend yourself.

Cheers!

Poke around over here.

Jeezy Chreezy! What site are you running that pulls down 50 terabytes o' bandwidth monthly? Is this Bill Gates? It's ok, you can tell us.

Greenguy: Thanks, I"ll have a poke around over there but I'm more looking for personal recommdations!

Useless: Nothing right now, but thats just my calculations of what the site could use once it has been running for several months if it becomes popular. Can't say what it is right now sorry.

I highly recommend you to check out the url I spam every time I post I know they're hosting some extremely large sites that sound on your caliber like www.pichunter.com and xnxx.com I think you can ICQ: 69696969696 -- that's one of the guys from spammed host. I'm sure if anyone can give you a good deal it would be them. Been with em for over 10months now and nothing but fast responses. (mainly because I work for them!)

i second that spammers recomendation.

hermit · 2004-05-10, 12:15 AM

my post wasnt spam. i have no affiliation with reality check and i dont get anything for recommending them. i host my sites with them thats all. they have great tech support, great up time and my sites always load fast.

ILostMyPassword · 2004-05-10, 07:44 AM

LOL.. I just read the edited posts.

To whoever posts things like that, I'm not that stupid, I was already questioning 2 posts by people with low posts counts recommending the same host & upon checking their other posts the first poster does indeed to just reply in hosting threads.

But I did find out that they do indeed host those 2 large adult sites & seem to have ok prices.

ILostMyPassword · 2004-05-10, 07:48 AM

Btw hermit.. if you have no afilliation with them what do you get out of having them in your sig? I don't see a ref code.

hermit · 2004-05-10, 08:46 AM

i put the a link to them in my ref code out of gratitude. and because i think they are a good affordable host that really appreciates their customers.

what happened is i had 1 host that i was VERY unhappy with. i decided to leave them about 1 week before my pay period ended. so i shopped around and found another host. i put in my order and got a bill in my email saying "server set up and ready within 48 hours of payment recieved" or something like that. i paid for my new dedicated server and got a reciept in my email a couple minutes later that said thanks - your order will be ready within 48 hours. so i contacted my other host and cancelled my hosting with them. a few days went by and no contact from my new hosting company so i sent them an email. they replied that they never recieved payment confirmation. so i sent them my payment confirmation email with the payment code and everything. a few days went by and still nothing. to shorten this a bit i had to hurry up and get a virtual host and move all my sites to that... i had some domains that were down a whole day because of no hosting. i was pretty ticked off at that point and my new host wasnt returning my emails. i contacted ben from reality check - who i didnt know at the time and still really dont - and he had a server set up for me in 2 hours. even though i told him i couldnt pay him right away because i had paid for another host. he actually offered me the first month for free - but i didnt take it. had my dns changed and the next day i had a new server for my sites. and to top it all off he gave me 3x more data transfer and a 40 gig larger hard drive for slightly more than i would have been paying with the other host. he has always been right on it when i have a question or needed help with something. and i have not had any downtime that i know of.

i have them in my tagline out of gratitude. i would have my affiliate code in there but they dont have an affiliate program that im aware of

peace! rl
