    A videos site does 5TB bandwidth transfers per month.
    Looking for hosting recommendations, all suggestions are welcome.

    I agree.

    You couldn't get anything less than a dedicated server for something that uses 5TB of Monthly Bandwidth :D

    Yeah Dedi is fine, but many of the dedi's I looked at offered less than 5TB of bandwidth.

    I'm gonna have to agree, a dedicated server is the way to go.

    5TB/mo = 15Mb/sec sustained. You would be looking at around $1500/mo. This would include the server and the bandwidth. FREE SETUP on a 12 month term.

    Dual-Core 3800+ Athlon64 X2
    2GB DDR2 RAM
    Dual 160GB Serial ATA drives
    Linux or BSD
    Your choice striped/mirrored

    We've been in business over 10 years now. We own and operate our own hosting facilities and servers. If you have any questions, please feel free to PM me, or email me. Or call at 1-888-MIA-NET-9

    Dedicated is the way to go IMO.

    You could try HiVelocity, they sell unemetered servers for as low as $149 for an unmetered 10mbit server, so you could always get two, or upgrade a server to 20mbit unmetered for +$125

    I've currently got a server with them. Haven't faced too many troublesome problems.

    Thanks. I ended up going with FDC but I'll keep that link bookmarked.

    Are you on the 10mbit line, or the 20mbit?
    What are your average download speeds?
    On FDC I seem to be capped at around 10mbit, but the cost is around $120/month

    Mia I don't need a server that powerful. I need bandwidth, not CPU usage.
