Low cost servers with high bandwidth · **Released**: 07-22-2007

Hello pals,

Im looking for a "low" cost server that allows me to deliver big ammounts of data transfer. I'll be basically using this server as a download server, so I can releave my other servers for mysql, images and php processes. So this server wont need to be running a MySQL server or anything, possible just php.

I am looking for at least 2TB bandwidth and 100/200Gb storage capacity.
Let me know if you find something like what I am looking for.

For what you need, there is no such thing as "low". Try iweb8.com and their un-metered servers. Their data center is very clean. Prepare yourself to pay at least 500/month. Since you need to release a lot of data, you will need ultra fast drives, so the price will go higher.

I know there is no such thing, i really dont want to pay for an unmetered server because Im not quite sure if I am going to use it au large.

Thanks for the tips tho.

you don't really need a server with 'ultra fast drives', you could try http://fdcservers.net/ it's shared unmetered bandwidth but you should be able to push 5-9TB/month or for a server in the EU http://www.leaseweb.com/index.php?p=dedicated

Honestly, getting a "low cost server with high bandwidth limits" basically means 1 of 2 things (or both)
1) They oversell
2) they are a very crappy host

Usually the more expensive it goes the better it is, but I would still look into the host, get background information etc before you make the plunge

All you can really do is google the site and its statistics and such

When reffering to low cost i am thinking about 150$ as base, does anyone know servers with unmetered dedicated servers and how much this unmetered connection cost?

dedicated 10mbit unmetered connections alone can start around $130 / $150. They could go in the thousands for 100 mbit dedicated port connections

unmetered == capped ... 100% of the time...
