    web hosting

    hi all

    im looking for a web host.

    Want to make a server where i can upload lots of videos that can also be downloaded and viewed online. Am expecting over 1000 exclusive hits a month.

    i will be looking at unlimited space, and unlimited bandwith. dont want a vps, as its far too expensive.

    ive seen hostgator and hostmonster.

    which is the best from these two, or can anyone recomend a better one?

    many thanks

    There is literaly hundreds m8
    If memory serves me right there used to be a comparison site for web hosting, cant remember the name though

    Uk one
    Code:
    http://uk-hosting-review.com/
    Usa one
    Code:
    Hidden Content is your best friend with this isolate where you want tobe hosted then start looking at what you get with the package, mysql etc etc you have to know what you need as far as services before you select, not all providers give same content and if its content that you require then it renders them no good

    Re: web hosting

    there is no such thing as unlimited......

    you will also require a special hosting package that lets you stream video content and this doesnt come cheap.

    most of the cheaper hosts and the fake hosts will be using cognet bandwidth and this is usless for video streaming.

    i notice you rule out a vps this wouldnt be anygood either as you share server hardware.

    really your talking about a very expensive project
    and if you try to cut corners you wont have any chance in making it work.

    dedicated server is the only way foward for this project m8 and that will cost an arm and a leg and you have already showed your not commited on saying a vps is to much cash.

    Re: web hosting

    i've been looking at hostgator swamp option.

    disk space is 1000GB bandwith is unlimited.

    someone said to take servage.net

    im completely confused what to do.

    i've been told that moving servers is a real big mess. So i want one server then stick to it. I've been told to completely ignore dreamhost.

    I like the hostmonster CP. Whats best?
