Buying Dedicated File Hosting with >3TB bandwidth, minimal storage

    Hello. Currently I have an account with SimpleCDN to help provide some projects with free download mirrors for their files. Right now, I don't even use 1 GB of space, but bandwidth is heading towards 4TB per month, and it's getting a bit too costly for me at this point (since I get nothing in return for hosting those files). I do like SimpleCDN and how everything is going, but price is just a bit too much.

    Thus, I'm looking for a file hosting replacement. I don't need anything but basic FTP access and an ability to create other FTP accounts that only have access to their own folder (kind of how like SimpleCDN works for their 'Upload Buckets'). And other than the space/bandwidth mentioned above, nothing else is really necessary as long as the line for the bandwidth is dedicated and at least 20-30Mbps (though a nice 50-100Mbps line would be nice). I know about 10tb.com and their dedicated 100Mbps line with 10TB bandwidth, but I don't need all of that (whether it's server or cloud), especially when considering the overall price (base server + management, etc.).

    Also, I do have a nice VPS through WiredTree.com and I would like to put the files there, but it gets crazy expensive if I try to addon bandwidth and RAM and whatnot.

    Can anyone help me out or suggest something else? If you need any other information, please let me know. Thanks! :)

    Why don't you use shared hosting?
    Many offer unlimited bandwidth

    I've been in the hosting business for quite some time and know there's no such thing as 'unlimited' anything. And like I said, I do not want 'shared bandwidth' as it's slow as hell.

    @iBoot
    Well, I'd like it to be under $100 monthly, but am willing to work something out depending on the offer. Or possibly a yearly price at a discount would work too. :)

    Yea, I already mentioned that site in my OP, lol. Their cheapest server, base price, is $98 per month. Add on management and whatnot, it's well over $150 per month now. And that's for a whole server, which I don't need. I just need a way to put my files somewhere, and get them off quickly.

    Right now, I'm having a hard time finding something other than putting down the big bucks for 10tb.com OR seriously upgrading my VPS on WiredTree.com, which would be even more expensive. Hence why I'm trying to get other suggestions here. :)

    I would go with 10TB just because they're one of the lowest. You can also look at getting a dedicated Atom server if your not looking into too much performance.

    You are having a hard time finding what you are looking for because what you want requires "big bucks". :)

    What it's coming down to now is possibly just moving everything I have to a Cloud server at 10tb.com, though it'll cost me close to $200 a month which I wasn't prepared to do. I have a few websites and email at Wiredtree.com and then all of my file mirrors and whatnot at SimpleCDN. I can consolidate them onto one server if it's good enough.

    If you can get somewhat close to 10tb.com's Alto Cloud package and offer cPanel/WHM with full support (fully managed) and under $150-200 a month (or discounts for quarterly/semi-annually/annually), then please let me know.

    Thank you.
