Shared, VPS or Dedicated?
Hi,
I'm rather desperately looking for a web host and wondered if anyone could recommend a few to look at based on my requirements? It seems like i've been everywhere now but still haven't come across what I'm after.
If we stick with shared hosting we have the following requirements:
150GB bandwidth (data transfer) per month or more (currently using 100GB)
15GB storage or more (currently using 7GB)
PHP/MySQL/SSI
multiple FTP accounts
protected directories
(there may be more but i can't think atm)
absolute max price inc VAT: £23 per month (around $40)
If we go for a dedicated server, we have a higher budget, but it needs to include our audio streaming, that is unless dedicated servers can be found for our site's budget of £23 a month:
1TB bandwidth minimum (preferably 1.5TB)
100MBPS connection (10 may be useable but would need a trial)
Windows Server 2003 Standard
Remote Desktop Administrator access
absolute max price inc VAT: £50 per month (around $110)
At present I think the best solution would be hosting our site seperate from our audio streaming, meaning a budget of £23 a month, but whether this is on a shared hosting package or VPS I don't mind, provided we can find a reliable host to meet the top list of requirements above (150GB bandwidth etc).
