Who's a good hosting provider these days?
Discussion
I'm trying to host some content for my own purposes, but I also want to host some large video files for download for a friend of mine who doesn't have the time or technical knowhow to set this up. While I'm quite capable of nailing the php/mysql/apache/htaccess stuff together that's needed for this, I need to find somewhere to host it that offers some reasonable throttled bandwidth, but doesn't charge on the basis of amount of data transferred.
Most of the hosting providers I've looked at so far seem to offer the opposite: huge gobs of bandwidth, but caps on absolute volume of data transferred per month. Makes sense since they have a contention ratio of customers to bandwidth that they're playing off.
Since one file in particular is likely to be close to 1Gb, and downloaded a few times a day, well, you get the picture. This might not be something anyone offers, of course, but if anyone has pointers, I'm all ears.
Thanks,
