Hey guys, I''m looking for a new webhost that allows lots and lots of bandwidth for cheap. We''ve just released our trailer video for our new game and we are about to release the demo in a few weeks. The demo is rather large (100MB+), and we''re afraid of being charged ridiculous overage fees if we get a lot of downloads. I would like to avoid hosting it elsewhere (FilePlanet, etc.), so if anybody has any suggestions, I''d greatly appreciate your input. I was looking at Powweb because they''re nice and cheap and allow 5gig transfer per day, which I''m sure is more than enough. Not sure if anybody has had any experience with them though...I''d like to know if they''re legitimate and reliable. Anyway, thanks for any ideas you can offer.

I've had no problems yet.

Why not publish a torrent?

Thanks very much for the quick feedback. I checked out 1Portfolio and they look pretty good. I was looking at their Platinum plan, but I couldn''t find anywhere what the bandwidth period was. Is that 50GB per month? Or per year?

@alnite >>> Thanks! I hope you''ll like the demo. We release June 21st, if all goes well.

*grins from ear to ear* There''s nothing better to an indie game developer than good feedback on your first project.
