    Hi everyone,

    I don't know what I'm exactly looking for but Ill give a description for what I'm looking for. I'm currently making a media center product in my company and were making an all in one software media center software for our HTPC. In our country you can not stream hulu,pandora radio etc. I'm looking for a provider that can give me a plan for all my client base that use my product.

    Heres what I plan to do: To bypass US ip restriction, I will setup a VPN connection for all my clientèle's htpcs and it accesses our server and streams hulu and pandora radio etc and is only restricted to our software(which I will take care of). So our server bandwidth can not be used beyond the streaming.

    I'm not sure how much bandwidth does hulu consume so I don't know if I should be looking for an unmetered connection or not. Advice and suggestions and service offers are appreciated. even joint ventures are appreciated.

    Will you use that VPN connection for private needs only?

    Your going to need a lot of bandwith if your just using the VPS to tunnel to streaming Hulu & Pandora.

    "unmetered services" is not possible unless you want some downtime.

    Well you should look for reliable unmetered VPS proviers. However, you should also analyze and understand that this is nothing as unlimited.

    End of the day every host is in business to make money and you get what you pay for.

    Hope this helps.
