Need Web Hosting with thousands of gigs of bandwidth Options

[nWo Sting]

I need a web hosting company that offers a lot of bandwidth, at least 1000 GB to start, but hopefully they have higher plans if my bandwidth increases. Anyone know of a company that has a fair pricing plan for a lot of bandwidth? thanks

Oh, absolutely, Effovex. My post was assumption, but it was assumption based off my four years of reading horror stories from people who have used a host that is overselling its services like 1&1 do, and once they use most of those resources, they get cut off.

The fact is, not even 1&1 can give somebody 1,200gb on a shared server. Think about it... if 1&1's servers have a total of 10,000gb of transfer coming to each one, and each server has four hard drives which total 1,000gb of space, they are only going to be able to sustain 7-8 customers on that server if they all use their maximum allocation (if using the "home" package). If they have eight customers on that server, they are bringing in $29.92 per month for that server (Without upselling their customers on other products). Bandwidth costs alone will be much more than $29.92 a month, plus whatever your staff and data center costs are for that particular server.

It's simply not possible for anybody to make a profit from offering that many resources for that price, if people use all the resources avaliable. As a result, they'll be swiftly booted off the server to make way for 100 more customers who pay the same price but only use a tiny fraction of the resources they have supposedly being offered by 1&1 when they purchased the package.

I'm not saying for certain 1&1 will boot them off, but experience tells me they will, and frankly, all business sense tells me they will (I mean, who's going to run a server that's not making a profit?).

Of course, 1&1 will upsell some of their customers on other products, and increase their profit per server that way, but the percentage of customers who will purchase other products is likely to be so low that it doesn't make much of a difference.
