Hi, I'm the owner of RomNation ... I average around 20k hits/day and I'm in need of web hosting. To give you an idea, I need around 15 gb of space and very very high bandwidth allowances. I'm looking for something CHEAP, remember that when making suggestions.

http://www.gotoecom.com - Dedicated linux

Looks too good to be true, but you never know. They only offer 10 gb of space but I'll be able to get more. That's the #1 option on my list right now, but I will welcome any suggestions.

First, there is no such thing as "unlimited bandwidth".
Second, CIHost is constantly rated as the absolute WORST host on the 'net. I didn't even think they had any more customers...

you're not going to find that in virtual hosting. I'm afraid you're going to have to get a dedicated box.

hehe.. there is a funny thread about them at www.webhostingtalk.com they signed up with some better hosting company guild type thing, that was apparently reasonably reputable but now cihost is in it :)

they have quite a reputation, how do people still end up hosting with them i have no idea.
