Hey all.. I too am looking for a hosting company... I am currently with www.1and1.com and seems like at the end of the month we are always killing our limits and going down!

We are not a BIG network by any means, but it too seems like we have grown out of our current server.

I guess if I offer up some stats then maybe this would help with the suggestions.

VB forum running CMS for our sites. We do have a coppermine gallery that we are moving over to the VB Gallery script once we get a new server.

Forum Stats:
330,000 Posts
25,000 Members
300 Average online at once (we need this to allow for much more)

Gallery Stats:
70,000 images and growing

Server Stats
Intel Pentium 4
3.06 GHz Hyper-Threaded or higher
2,048 MB DDR RAM
120 GB IDE hard drive
500 Bandwidth

We are averaging about 450 - 500 GB of bandwidth per month. The problem I am having is chosing the RIGHT hosting company for our network. I see so many VB forums that have a HUGE database with over a millon posts and way more member online at one time that never seem to have a problem with their server. And I would really love that for our network. Of course I dont want to be paying an arm, leg and right nut for it!

Thanks for the suggestions
