help on your knowledge on server providers...

[dowxp]

just came off a bad deal with www.megawebserver.com . my "group" bought a previous linux deal $65 a year for unlimited disk space and bw. of course we took advantage of that, using 18gb of webspace and about 30gb bw a day since the linux was on at least a DS3 connection. now they dropped us to a crappy win2k server running a 20k download 15kupload. we are going to drop them obviously as i knew it was too good to be true. i guess its sort of my fault for abusing but whatever. oh, i guess i should warn u guys about them. their tech support is non-existant, bad customer service and al they do is run servers from the rackshack in houston via renting.. anyways

does anyone know of a good reocmmended hoster and on the side, at 300disk space and preferably a good connection =\ thanks

Your "group" is a warez trading ring? Might want to get out of that as some people are getting prosecuted now, and it's harder to get a good job with a criminal record

 

[dowxp]

nope .. nothing warez or mp3. thats besides the point.. ahhah warez would be immediate cancelation of our contract.

if you're pushing that much traffic and using that much space, you should look into getting your own dedicated server. Check out www.serverbeach.com for a cheap solution, or www.rackspace.com

you've got me curious then, what the heck are you using all the space and bandwidth for if not mp3s, vcds, etc.?

no flame from me as long as you're pulling shows once they're licensed -- fansubs and boots were what brought anime to the US and built up enough of an audience to make selling the legit VHS, LD and now DVDs profitable.

There's enough licensed anime to keep me busy but I know you hardcore fans need more
