Bandwidth ?

[Sunshine McGillicutty]

How do you figure out what sort of BW your host is on? Actually, I want to find out what sort of bandwidth the host I use for TGP galleries is on. I currently use http://thumbnailgalleryhost.com

I've never paid much attention to the issue, but I want to experiment with Cogent vs. Verio to see if the improvement , if any, warrants paying the slightly higher bandwidth costs at another host.

Do you mean the size of the connection, or the upstream bandwidth provider?

Thank you, sirs.

And in your opinions is paying a bit more for Verio BW worth it? I've heard alot of non-cogent hosts say it is, but I've yet to see much webmaster opinion on the subject.

HAHAH those price are fucking outragous.

$83/Mbit on a 33Mbit commitment WITH FOOTERS?

$165/Mbit on a 33Mbit commitment dedicated on COGENT ?

talk about 550% markup.

See what I mean by people not doing their homework when it comes to hosting? Watch to my new infomation site on hosting so you can can start realizing what you pay for.
