    Hey DP I have a small question,

    I'm pretty much a newbie to sites and I'm trying to launch my first one (tired of obeying clients as a graphics designer, looking for something I can do on my own :D). I have my site designed, content created, but I don't know which service I would like to put my site on. I was thinking iPages because of all its positive reviews, but I'm at a loss.

    Any recommendations and why? :eek:

    Do you have any idea of how much space and bandwidth you would require and what is your budget?

    Space- projected at most 1GB of content for the actual site
    Bandwidth - Starting at 20G but we're looking more towards 100G at full launch (it's a tutorial site).

    This is what my associate tells me, I'm the designer and wouldn't know how to project these. Mainly, we're offering video tutorials (the videos would be placed somewhere like youtube or bliptv to save space and costs).

    I have been using Martfox for a while and they are the dogs. I have been with many hosting companies and these are the best I have seen for the money.
