Donald, one word of advice.....I once went for a host that had a nice $/month, but their stuff was terrible. Took me more than 3 months to find out that potential customers didn't receive my emails (neither they nor me got any errors/warnings), lots of downtime, etc. Personally, it's probably been an expensive lesson to learn, and I learned from a lot of people that the more a host offers (especially 1000's or 'unlimited' is a good sign) the less they usually deliver. Any good, personal/flexible host will be glad to cut you a deal with more traffic and less of something else, or a nice sponsorship deal for free if you are getting that much traffic. (Together with the group I'm in, we got a great free deal with 40,000 hits a month, 15 gb/m inexchange for their own network banner). Not sure if that's usefull, but those hosting plans are no obligation :)
