Regarding Bandwidth usage and storage space

coRtALoS · January 23rd, 2006, 3:42 AM

Having looked through your pricing plans, I am interested in purchasing a shared server plan, however would like to know if you offer increased disk space and bandwidth usage as addon packages, or whether those figures are the only options you have to offer.

The site I'm looking to host uses right around 200gb per month, and roughly 80gb of disk space.

I am aware that a dedicated server may be more suitable for the type of hosting I'm looking for, however due to advertising circumstances, that is not an affordable option at this point.

Thank you.

80 gigs would be a whole dedi hard drive. You said you are aware of them, but I would recommend that over a shared plan, especially for something as extreme as that seems. Something with 80 gigs of data and 200 gigs of bandwith just seems like it's going to be very intensive.

I must agree with David,

Althought it may not be an affordable solution anything which warrants that kind of space and bandwidth especially business wise should be able to justify the cost.

If it is personal then some kind of major funding will be needed.

Alright, if we decided to go with the Intel Celeron 2.4 Ghz 400Mhz Bus with only the single 80gb option, there isn't any way to purchase additional hard drive space in increments? Perhaps just an extra 20 gigs for a total of 100gb of storage space for like $5 or $10 extra?

You would have to buy an additional hard drive from the list Removed posted. Otherwise, no there isn't any way to do it because they will be putting in an additional drive. It's not like on a shared where there are extra drives that they are just allowing you to use part of, you'll get the whole drive.
