Well........ I cheat for my personal site. However, I set up websites for people pretty continually; what you want to look for is "unmetered bandwidth"; if the company advertises "unlimited bandwidth", they are full of it. With unmetered, you get a variable amount of bandwidth on a continual basis... that's confusing. Ok. they have your server hooked to the web with a 512kbps connection. there are several other sites on the machine thats hooked. you get anywhere from 10% to 90% of that connection, depending on how popular the other sites on the machine are. So there is no monthly bandwidth limit...but if everyone on the planet tries to download from you at once, the connection will be slow. services of this type are provided by: http://www.parcom.net/home/windows_services.html and http://www.incredible.com/webhosting.php but i haven't used them lately. I would be happy to help out anyone who is in a bad plan find something better.
