I know this is probably way off topic, but I just need some advise. For
over 6 years now, my "Peter Pan's Home Page" website has been hosted by
digitalspace.net. It's "pixyland.org", and it's main subdomain is
http://peterpan.pixyland.org. Anyway, the site has grown and grown, and
is very high traffic for a personal website, about 80 gig
bandwidth/month. Digitalspace.net never had a package that offered that
much bandwidth, but they offered me unlimited bandwidth in exchange for
a banner ad, which I KNOW generated a ton of business for them. Now, the
ownership has changed hands, will not honor the agreement. Worse, they
won't even talk to me about any special deals, beyond buying extra
bandwidth on a gigabyte by gigabyte basis. Doing that would increase my
monthy fee from about $10/month to over $100. As the site is a labor of
love, and passes all income over costs to charities at years end, I have
little choince but to scramble to find another hosting company. Even
now, their "system" is simply deleting parts of my services to "punish"
me, and they claim no one has control over it.
Anyway, this is about what I need:
1. Maybe 1/2 gig of disk space.
2. About 80 gig of bandwidth /month
3. At least a few subdomains I can point to special pages or directories
(don't need additional IPs)
4. A "settable" visitor counter so I can carry on the legacy of the site
(It's close to 10 million, so...)
5. A human contact I could talk to at the hosting company, to help me
with setup issues.
6. Help with installation of .HTACCESS file, to prevent hot linking,
which would make the bandwidth even worse.
Thanks in advance. I know there are a million hosting companies out
there, but I don't do websites for a living and know little about who
really is best and most affordable. Thanks for any insight.
