Has anybody ever had a similar problem:
My web host provides me with four sets of stats that record bandwidth used.

(1) Analog: currently reads 30 gigabytes

(2) Webalizer: currently reads 4 gigabytes.

(3) User Acount: 620 megabytes

(4) Bandwidth Usage: 620 megabytes

When I compare with my Burstnet stats, the analog comes closest in terms of page views etc.

How do I know if I've gone over my account? I have emailed for support three times but the only thing I got was cut and paste answers which talked of general policies.argghh.

What are the best hosts in terms of bandwidth transfer? (Not too concern about other things).

>best hosts in terms of bandwidth transfer?

You can see bottom of the front page where the board is hosted, there's a fair amount of activity here. It'll probably take some checking around to decide.

Can't help you with your question Bogglesworld, but I'd say the best host would be one where a human being answers a support request after three tries. In your place I might be inclined to send that very question to potential new hosts asking how you'd know when you'd gone over your account with their hosting, and check out what kind of reply you get. I'm using some low end hosting now and got a reply back within hours about what was wrong with a pre-installed Perl script not working. I wouldn't recommend my host for your needs, but at least a live person looked and sent the answer within a few hours.

Thanks Marcia. That is some good advice. I will definitely check out a webhosters support before I buy into a new package.
