No problem, Tuxy. One of these days I'm going to call you regarding your hosting deals. You reckon I'll get a discount for advertising(/recommending you as a webhost)? :p;)

By the way, Hosting video/songs has its problem... !!! These will eat up bandwidth like hell :( also, these are in shared hosting, there is chance that you may cross allowed CPU/Network usage limit :( and there after getting a bann :( one of my friend Earned a worrning this night from a big player (HostGator) :( regarding crossing allowed CPU/Network usage... !!!

I agree! But all these limits are good for the health of the server. There are always multiple sites on a server and no one wants one site to hog up so much resources that other sites suffer. Some type of sites better be on dedicated servers or at least in VPS.

Hostgator.com
Asmallorange.com
polurnet.com

For VPS/Dedicated I recommend

many many hosting services uses this option in wrong way :p.... they advertise a 10GB for lowest of prices, where ever some users starts to user above 50 or 60 %, they terminate the account with the reason of CPU usgae or network usage !! :(

:D Absolutely true! One of my client is likely to move out for lower prices inspite of being on a server with wonderful uptime and speeds. I refused to go any lower. If the same client comes back with problems, I am going to charge double. :lol: :twisted:

:lol: Those are mainly "harassment charges" and I will be amply justified in taking double.

When they originally came to me, they were paying 25K for 25MB with a new threat from provider almost everyday of bringing down the site for exceeding the quota and the site used to be down too frequently. Even I measured their uptime for a month and can you believe it? It was around 90% which is the most pathetic by any standards!

I have not only provided them good service, lots of space and a far cheaper price, but have also given them complete peace of mind! In the past, they have upgraded and downgraded hosting at will and I haven't charged anything for their fanciful behaviour! Payments have never come on time and I have gone out of my way to do things that were not supposed to be done by me.

Still, those buggers are behaving high handedly and I am in no mood to relent. If they want to walk out, they are free to do so! I will be able to use my time for more rewarding activities!!

25K for 25MB is a short lived glory :p Someday when clients get better educated, they move out. Don't kill the hen that lay one golden egg regularly ;) :))

Honestly, money that we charge does not only include monetary outgoing. It also includes time spent on various things to keep it going. Everyone is entitled to profits, but one must charge reasonable profits, not outrageous ones.
