Question regarding dedicated servers... - GoFuckYourself.com

right now i have a dedicated box.... but for the last while i've only used like less then 20 megs a day.. the reason i got it was because of the solo site... but that fell through.... now im going to be launching my next solo site end of this week.... but i still have this question... do most hosting companies let you pay a base rate for renting dedicated server... and then just pay a price per gig? as opposed to buying 1000gigs/month with the dedicated and not using some of it?

edit: btw serverprovider.com rocks and have been extremely helpfull... dont wanna bug sami with a newb question so i thought i'd ask here first....

Not a stupid question, just seems you joined up with the wrong plan to start out.

Most will rent you a box with an allocated amount of bandwidth.
Try to sell what you are not using
