    Hello guys...I have started a new website. My webspace is around 600Gb and monthly bandwidth is about 6000Gb. My site is a software download site. So I want to host some files in my site. Mainly I use external links. But for one section I want to upload the files and keep it in my site. The file size will be around 300Kb max for one file. My doubt is if the downloads rate become high in my site, will the host suspend my account for over usage. Do I need a dedicted server...??? Heard about a rapidshare account to solve this. But whats the idea behind that. How much will it cost for a rapidshare account for that...??? Please help...Suggest a solution....:confused:

    Go for a dedicated box with un-metered BW.
    That will do IMO.

    For a cheaper solution you could get an account with rapidshare for a little over $100 per year with unlimited uploads/downloads

    nah i don't think rapidshare offers unlimited anymore. The transfer download rate per 5 days is set to 50gb right now. Upload i think is 10gb a day or something. But you have to watch out though, rapidshare has been very unstable lately, they are lower and raising the limits like crazy. Go with megashares which offers unlimited upload and download sizes and the speed isn't that bad.
