    servage has some weird control panel, and i was unable to run my php scripts there for some reason.
    in fact i never actually usd my acount there which i paid about $100 for half a year ago..

    I heard good things about Servage although I don't use them directly. For a large webspace and bw with a fair price you can also check dreamhost (use a $97 off coupon and get a full year for something like $20 plus a free domain) - if you need a coupon just ask me or other DP friends to make you one :)

    Thanks dungeaon looks quiet good. One question. I am thinking of going for (200GB disk, 2TB bw, $9.95/month) but they are asking $49 setup fee. Now what i want to know is if i enter a coupon code will i get that setup fee off ? :)

    yes if you pay for 1 year and you use the $97 promo code you only pay about $22 for 1 year of hosting+ 1 domain (no setup or other fees)

    Try servage.net with these details to see the control panel:
    site: www.servage.net
    user: jacobbannier
    pass: yourpass
    I had these for a year, but only used them for 6 months as they didnt let me host a proxy. They oversell a lot, but there support is great. Check there UAP to see if image hosting is allowed, because I bet it isn't ;)

    Nice Servage preview :) . Usually shared hosting do not allow proxy sites because they are very big resource consuming. There are companies that do not allow proxies even on VPS...

    Anyway, Servage (and Dreamhost) have custom server configuration that allow them to allocate more resources (CPU time, memory) than a classic Cpanel account but of course you don't have the resources that come with a VPS or dedicated.

    Are you sure? That space or BW is on papers only, if you read their TOS carefully, you will realize that even they deploy practices to curb the usage... Its merely advertizing gimmick to to talk about terrabyte of space..

    WireNine: You are an industry veteran.. at least you should not be suggesting like that, unless its a sarcasm:rolleyes::rolleyes:
