Barring any recommendations being put forward to you....

Afraid that we are not a budget host, so cheap is not something we do, but we host sites hundreds of Actinic sites with a good proportion generating an average monthly data transfer of 20GBs +.

We also have a couple of sites knocking on the door of 50GBs per mth and a minority well over those levels each month...

We have customers on this forum that knock out some impressive hit levels, but not for us to divulge that type of information unless they offer that info and there own experiences themselves, but our site provides listings of tons of our hosted clients sites, most on show being Actinic hosted.

Cheap hosting is never worth the saving, especially if you have a 10gb pm site. Cheap hosting normally means hundreds of sites on one server all fighting for bandwidth.

If you want hosting that is quick, secure with good tech support then you will have to pay for it.

Consider how many sales you could lose if your site runs slowly, if you were to lose 1 sale a day because of it, does that potential loss add up to more money than you would pay a decent hosting company to host your site.

You might want to get a virtual server then you can host other peoples sites as well to help you with the cost. You could try a VPS server from Verio. I have one that costs me about £700 per year but I offset that cost by hosting some of it out to others.
