Researching Dedicated Hosting... HELP!

[romeoboi]

hey everyone-
Ive been looking into making the move into dedicated hosting. I'm unsure about a few things and wondering if there are any guides out there to help me know what to look for.... a few questions I have:

1. Some plans list transfer by gigs and other by Mbps... so say if a host lists transfer by 10 mbps does that mean the transfer is unlimited and the max connection to the server is 10mbps or does mbps correspond to a certain amount of gigs?

2. different hosts offer different control panels... are some better than others? what should I look for?

3. I want to get into MGP posting as I have run some small tests on my virtual account and its done well. I know to get something like a package from antihotlinking.com, but is there a good way to estimate what traffic will be based on how many times I submit?

Say I submit 1 gallery per day for a month, each with 3-4mb of video. So if I get 250,000 a month uniques who download 4mb each of video, banners, HTML, etc... I would be using around 1,000 gig of transfer. is that a reasonable amount to expect for submitting MGP?

any help or answers would be great... thanks!

SP-100 plan is what your looking for.

If you order in the next 24 hours.. we'll include cpanel (best control panel system) free of charge on the price that we have listed. (This is a $50 dollars/month saving) that is what cpanel.net charges for license.


You can call me directly at 1888-3124113 ext 3 to get you setup right away.

And to answer your question...

Majority of the hosts bill based on mbps when it comes to larger bandwidth, instead of gigs.

1 mbps = 320 gigs.
