    My site, http://www.customizepsp.co.uk has reached its bandwidth limit. I am willing to buy more bandwidth, but I want to fix the problem without losing any information. I currently use word press and phpbb.

    Please can someone help me! Im looking to move to a new host. Ive had my eye on www.hostmonster.com, but I only want to move to somewhere if i K=know it's reliable. What would you recommend? I think $6 is the most i'd be willing to pay per month.

    I am also upgrading to vbulletin soon so it has to be able to support that. Thanks.

    So once I choose a new host would I be able to transfer my database from my ftp to my new one and carry on as normal?

    Im quite new to this so i would appreciate it if some one can guide me through what to do.

    Once you choose a host you can restore your files and databases if you've got the backups. The host could restore backups for you too. Or if both the hosts support it, you could get them to transfer files between the accounts using SSH.

    Please mention the bandwidth and space requirements that you need so we have an idea of what you're looking for. If you're looking for huge bandwidth then you could try Dreamhost, HostGator or even GoDaddy. All have monthly plans for about $6.

    I can host you on my personal dedicated server. I have my own sites on this server so I can guarantee you it will have unbelievable uptime.

    You'll be happy with HostMonster. Check into hostgator and lunar pages too.

    I think it will give you all you need + they will move your files an data bases and every thing in your old host for free

    Hi,
    I am not sure you can provide affiliate links here Ibrahim Al Mohanna's ;).
    As for the hosting, you require 3Tb bandwidth which you will not receive within a shared web hosting environment. All the hosts providing tons of traffic will not let you use it as such a usage will require high server resources usage and they will suspend you.
    That is why I suggest, if you are sure you will need this number of bandwidth, to go for VPS or with Managed/Dedicated server because it will be very hard to find shared host who will give you 3TB of the server bandwidth.

    Good Luck!
    A.
