I'm guessing it's time to move your accounts off the virtual shared server, and onto your own dedicated machine?
Here are the facts:
Your account was throttled, but not shut down.
You are using a virtual hosting package.... Never good with the hun...
You used 4 times your bandwidth limit for the month in 1 day.
Since you are on the virtual SHARED server, we throttled your account to protect our other paying customers.
Powerstorm Hosting has been nominated twice for xbiz awards, and while we do not go out of our way to advertise all over the place, we keep our own little corner of the net mostly tidy, beyond temporary problems.
Someone from powerstorm will be contacting you shortly to discuss upgrade options.
Damn, remind me not to ever check you guys out.
That reply was the most unprofessional one I've ever seen!

Thats almost salt in the wounds. We will contact you to upgrade but not contact you when there are problems.
Not to say he didnt made a newb mistake, but shit we all have. One of the newb mistakes i dont make any more is fuck around with hosts with poor service. Check webair or natnet.
Guess all virtual accounts are not created equal, I have a couple of dedicated machines at webair and I also have virtual accounts at phatservers, reflected and swiftco and have had hun postings on all of them over the past few years and other than an occasional overage charge, I've never had a problem with hun listing on any of my virtual accounts. I actually had 2 galleries on the hun at once last year on my reflected virtual account and it handled it fine

Like I said, I didn't mean to diss the host. I've came here for advice and support which btw is plenty of. This community here is so friendly and helpful, and people here seem to keep their focus on work, unlike so many other junk forums. The name is rather un-inviting but this place rocks :D
No contact yet though made by powerstorm hosting, maybe I should rethink my hosting options.

true, it really depends... never had probs with a virtual acc at the hun

I've also had galleries listed on the hun using Phatservers without any problems
damn, that sux My first hun listing awhile back was on a virtual acct at cyberwurx and i had like 4 2MB vids on it and got about 300K uniques was fast as shit lol and no trouble....massive BW bill tho but sales ocvered it lucky and were revsshare so i lost the first month to overhead but most stil rebill to this day my main host kicks ass has handled tons of hun attacks but dedicated now.
Why would I drop the host? Can anybody tell me what they did wrong?
Most good hosts dont shut down your BW when you hit a good streak, they might contact you if there is a problem and let you know you need more, but like i posted i did hun movie listing with 4 mpgs on a cyberwurx virtual and it was fine smoked like 400-500 gigs in a 2 days they didnt cap me or shut me down...i just had to pay the bill lol but that was fine. Imaging it wasn't just the hun and google fucked up and liked a site or your and gave you #1 free porn for 2 weeks and the whole time your host caps you or shuts off the account, you don't want to be in that situation. Most hosts don't do that if they are reliable.
In the future, we can do Load Balancing between servers and server clusters. You need to realize that with a top hun list you can pull over 100 mbps if you have a movie gallery with 20 second clips
Hit me up if you need some more information, I use to submit and buy spots on the hun. We use to have 3 load balanced servers for each listing per day.
Had 2 galleries on The Hun this month.Both those were ran on a virtual account with Atcihosting never had a problem.They handled the traffic great and although I burned a ton of bandwidth I still made money.In the nine months I've been with them I've had maybe 5 minutes of downtime.They answer every question I have within an hour and go out of their way to fix problems no matter how minor.

I am assuming that you want to know, and are a bit new to hosting with a hun listing. Your host basically couldn't provide the service you needed and prevented you and also prevented you, from making sells to cover your extra bandwidth charges.
The Hun's bots are very good and will just delete the gallery...nothing against the submitter...plus your hosting company made fun of you in this thread
I dont understand why the host throttled the bandwidth when they make money as he uses bandwidth. The host has basically lost money because of this and so has he.
I'm ready to switch hosts if they screwed me over.
I know i posted here before, but is there any chance i can convince you to use the host in my sig? I'd offer to whore myself out and all, but the schedule's full.

Yeah, I'm open to try that host out, have you had any problems with them?

This last sentence above really sums it up.
His attitude could have been more sympathetic
He could have offered you a deal to help off-set possible losses
He could have scored points on this board, but did the opposite
Problems with to much traffic are easy to workout, better than the reverse
Yeah, I'm open to try that host out, have you had any problems with them?
First. I don't want you as a client, not because of you as such, but just so I can put this in perspective:
You want to change from a bad dream to a nightmare .... ????
Dreamhost will be worst than the host you have now .... This guy just wants his referral commission, so he can pay a milkshake to his g/f ( or b/f ) ..
Now, what the fuck do I know about dreamhost ???
WEll, I do have an account, so I can give an educated opinion ...
This is the site I was going to test there ... Test was short, but not sweet:

I've had many virtual packages with different companies and have NEVER been throttled like that. I just paid the overages.
Not the customers fault if your server can't handle a spike in traffic.

I'll admit that i've had a few, but for the price you pay you can't really complain - although i did .
