Elected by Dogs posted:edit: also, contribution quote, my post from another thread: "There is no such thing as unlimited bandwidth or disk space, it's essentially a lie. As soon as you start using any you're kicked off. Also, in addition, all of the major "unlimited" hosts show you prices with default range set to 2year+ prepay (some up to 10 year prepay) - when you pay monthly there's typically a huge setup fee plus it costs nearly double or triple the price you were shown." I've seen people run video hosting on HostGator account (which have "unlimited" bandwidth) for the Let's Play subforum, and as far as I know, they didn't have any problems. Well, to a certain limit, I suppose, but basically, for all reasonable intents and purposes it worked fine. An example of this is GrimFiend, which has hosted quite a few LPs, and is run by Static_Fiend on a HostGator account. I'm fairly sure that site has pulled quite a bit of bandwidth without any problems, though it's probably better to ask him.

Arcana posted:I'm currently torn between Hostgator and Steadfast...Hostgator says they have a 250,000 i-node limit per shared account...which apparently counts for files and emails? vBulletin alone is like 7,000 files...so I'm not sure whether thats a reasonable limit or not. Steadfast is looking pretty good, hell its good enough for SA right? The inode limit is very reasonable. There's one inode per file/directory, so you'll have a hard time filling it up as long as you're reasonable. The only case where I could see it being a problem would be with a public imagehost, but that isn't allowed on HostGator. If you have 200k+ files lying around on your website, you should consider if it wouldn't be wiser to keep some of it in a database anyway.
