VPS Hosting

Ok, I really need some help.

I have a website that is getting about 40K page views a day and between 1000-10,000 people a day. We push out some major bandwidth... Our highest output is about 75gb in 4 days.

We were hosting with Godaddy (200gb shared plan) and they dumped our database since I guess it was being so heavily used we were causing problems to over 5000 other mysql dbs. Well the sad thing is godaddy didnt inform us about taking us down, they just dumped us.

So needless to say we are STEAMING mad.

But we cannot seem to find an inexpensive host that can handle about 1gb of space and we need over 200gb of bandwidth. The server must support php and multiple mysql dbs. They must be really reliable and have good support.

Does anyone have any recommendations.

We are on a low budget, since we arent really looking to make money on our site.

It would be a good move to a VPS if it is using the above.

Beofer you do purchase one take the time to look around, reviews on the services provided. WHT (www.webhostingtalk.com) maybe a good place to start

Do not go with Dinix, they are now owned by WebHosting Plus. A company I would not reccomend to anybody.

Take a look at www.servint.com. They provide an excellant service.
