Gonna Have A Hard Time Finding Unlimited Bandwidth For A Premium Server So Cheap The Only Provider I'm Familiar With That Offers Unlimited Bandwidth Cheap Is Burst.net There May be Another Provider Out That I'm Not Aware Of If Im Not Mistaken I think Burst Sells There Unlimited Bandwidth For $37.50 a Month
Impossibe akhi. I own a hosting company and I can't even build it at that price. I'm going to submit the humble suggestion that you should reconsider and double your budget. But if doubling the budget, or holding off until you can is not an option, what you will need to do at that budget is: 1- Set your front end up on one unlimited account 2- Place copies of your MP3's onto 5 shared accounts at (different) hosts that will give you shell access (like Hostgator, Bosscrazy, Godaddy, etc.). 3- Setup an .htaccess file to rewrite all references to "http://mainsite.com/media" to "http://backend1.com/media" and 4 others to correspond to backend2, backend 3, and so forth. 4- Setup a CRON job on the front end server to rotate around between those .htaccess files (so as to avoid bandwidth abuse on any one host, which will get your contract terminated). This is the Round Robin approach. If you need any help setting this up, I can help. PM me for rates.
I agree with zupreme, the budget is way too low for what you want. Just a rough calculation on paper brings me to about $850 before any profit it made by the provider. That is if you want reliable hardware and a decent connection. No doubt someone will offer you one cheaper, but do you want reliable or do you want cheap ?
I have been with them for a couple of years now I have never had a problem with them. The only reason I see reviews about Santrex like yours is because you refused to take action when you received an complaint.
