Wow, you guys need better hosts :P, Integra Host (I use) Is a good one if you want unmetered bandwitdh (AKA Unlimited). The starter there is 7.95 a month for 2.5 gigs of space, and unmeaterd bandwitdh, and a bunch of other good stuff. Wow you are right though, those sites are dropping pretty fast.

There is no such thing as un-metered bandwidth...if a host says that an immediate red flag should be raised. From the ?Un-Metered? sites I?ve seen about 20GB of BW is a realistic cut off point.
 
Jedi_Amara If you need a different host I could host you ^^, I'm currently not hosting anyone if want to be hosted then Just PM me with how much space you'll be needing and the sites URL !
 
JA like owns her own server with Greg >>; She definately doesn't need hosting.
 
There is one problem with actually running a server for most people, aside from the simple knowledge required... And that's the availability of high-speed internet. And I don't mean cable, DSL or similar, even. I mean seriously high-speed stuff. If a website gets much traffic, a standard cable connection probably can't handle it much.

And the specific problem is upstream speeds. I have cable, and the down is, in theory, a respectable 5 mbit connection. Of course it's never that fast in reality. Usually acts more like 2 mbit. >.< And the upstream is only around 512 kbit. Which, if you consider how most people have cable/DSL with downstream speeds 2-10x that, is insufficient. Internet with fast up and down speeds just doesn't exist in most areas yet, or, if it does, it's massively expensive... :|
 
Correction. We *used* to own a server XD. It fried (it was a dedicated server in a data centre). Now we're trying to raise money to get a new one, but at the moment we're using Elixant reseller hosting :)

I have highspeed...very FAST connection o0;; (Yay for COX! Now if only I could get digital cable...), I kinda wish I knew how to set one up in the first place, must be expensive o0;;

It's very easy. You just need a cheap system box, an old computer will do. Install Linux, Apache and all the modules you want on it, configure it to be accessible from the Internet and you're done XD


Greg and I are broke. We can't get our hosting service back up yet. -_-
