    Looking for cheap and reliable hosting (maximum $50 per mth) for big images database website.
    Require lots of hard disk at least 200GB to 500GB.
    Appreciate any recommendations.
    Thanks:cool:

    At that kind of disk space, you are looking at either a very large VPS or dedicated server. That budget might be somewhat realistic for 200GB of space on a VPS, but for 500GB, you will most likely need to double your budget. If you absolutely need 500GB, you're probably better off trying to find a really cheap dedicated server, Atom server or such, with your own 500GB hard drive in it. You're probably not going to find them for $50, however.

    It looks like VPS hosting solution will be a good for you.
    as for reliable company, can suggest Webserver4.net company.
    Their support is amazing. To me that's the most important thing. What good is a hosting company that doesn't help you through the process of setting up.
    They are ROCKS.

    You can get a sever for that price from Interserver.net. Have used their low end dedicateds as DNS boxes.

    I recommend you to use Redswitches VPS solutions.
    They are offering stable plans with high stability. You can use coupon RS20PRO and get 25% off

    If you need 200 to 500Gb HDD then I suggest you to see if you get it with VPS or you need to go with dedicated server

    What kind of CPU and RAM are you looking for? large image databases might need more then disk space. I agree there are some high end VPS options but with that much space needed, you need to weigh your options of VPS to dedicated. Depends on how much you will raise that budget and what kind of service level you are happy with.
