hi there,
I am running a blog on a UK server, the bandwidth limit is 2GB per month and already this month I am up to 12GB - does anyone have any recommendations for hosting companies that offer cheap high Bandwidth solutions? As I will end the year with £300/$600 worth of charges at this rate!

also - make sure you've got you're webserver setup to GZIP all outgoing contents.
google "mod_gzip" if you're running apache.
makes a world of difference.

Stay away from bluehost. I had nothing but trouble.

thanks for the tip on bluehost...... someone else has recommeded http://dreamhost.com/ << I still think surpass look the best, asa I'm suspicious of anything that says 'unlimited'
- dreamhost is ok...kinda slow though if you're on their VPS and running anything CPU intensive.sublocked

If it's just a blog - and not mission critical, try 1and1.
http://order.1and1.co.uk/xml/ord…Their support is RUBBISH! But if you're a confident web worker, then you'll generally get no serious problems - things tick along nicely, and I've not had issues or downtime in over 6 years.
If you're likely to need support - stay away though.

We used to use http://imhosted.com, but switched to a dedicated server at http://theplanet.com about 6 months ago. Their value for money and service is pretty good.
