I have way too much traffic on my site and found that my options are paying like $50-$100/month.

How do I go about buying my own Web host Computer? How much is it? Does it go through my internet connection?

I'm hoping to pay around $20/month.

All I can say is dream on.

How many GB bandwidth does your website use per month?

I would check out Dixiesys's upcoming 10/15 - 10/31 BUY 1 - GET 1 FREE sale where you could get one of their hosting packages DOUBLED for FREE:

Medium Site Hosting $9.95/mo or $99.50/yr 400 megs 7500 megs 50, with the special you get 800MB and 15GB.
Large Site Hosting $14.95/mo or $149.50/yr 600 megs 12000 megs 75, with the special you get 1200MB and 24GB.
Extra Large Site Hosting $19.95/mo or $199.50/yr 800 megs 15000 megs 100, with the special you get 1600MB and 30GB.

Dixiesys is flexible and realizes that not all hosting packages suit everyone, I would contact their sales department at sales@dixiesys.com and ask Gary what kind of deal he can hook you up with. I offer no guarantees but it's worth a shot.

But $20 a month for 1,600 MB website storage space and 30GB bandwidth per month doesn't look bad at all.

Another great way to find an affordable webhosting company is to post a Web Hosting Request, just list everything you and how much you are willing to pay, within hours you should have several offers. Trust me, this works.
