I used to use Dreamhost until my deal ran up. Does anyone know if the 777 deal is still going becuase I would love to get that again.

Anyways, I need at least 50gb of space and a min of 20gb of bandwidth per month. No price is too low. Anyone have any suggestions?

I would prefer to keep it under $150 for a whole year. But if I have to ill spend more. The space is for pictures, lots and lots and lots of pictures....

I already have 20gb worth right now and I expect it to be close to 45ish when I am done.

Assuming you really do need all that room for your files, I would look at a dedicated server, which would run you anywhere from $125 - $400 a month. 20gb of bandwidth is reasonable but you'll pay plenty of money to get 50gb of storage room.

Also, unless you want to take 3 months to upload and download that data your bandwidth should be greater >50gb. There's no point in having 50gb of storage space if you exceed your bandwidth trying to upload that amount. Your best bet would be a low end dedicated server, but that would be in the low $1xx per month range. If you have any specific questions feel free to PM me and I'll gladly help in any way I can.
