Good host with large bandwidth? (2 Terabytes+)

[Gutspiller]

Right now I'm looking at theplanet.com's P2800 plan. I was wondering if anybody has something that beats it for a better price, but is still a decent hosting company?

$200 a month
Dual 2.8GHz Xeon Processors
1GB RAM
2 x 80GB HDD
IP Addresses 11
Bandwidth 2000GB

Anybody know of something better for the same or lower price? I would be interested in hearing from you.

Thanks!

If you have massive bandwidth concenrs i would recomend getting the SCSI system as I am guessing you are using alot of your diskspace for static downloads.

Is there a big performance differnence between IDE, SATA and SCSI as far as downloads and serving pages are concerned? I thought that the bottleneck would be more of what type of connection the server is connected to the Internet backbone?

SCSI is fastest. Some newer SATA drives come close, but SCSI has it's own processor and will tend to reduce CPU stress as well.

For static content, IDE drives would do really. IO congestion usually happens with database servers as database queries require fast read access. This is where SCSI, and especially SCSI RAID0 shines.

YEAH scsi gives you best performace it wont reduce the cpu stress anyway but performace wise output it very well handled
