Titan hosts are vey expensive are they not??

Average Data Transfer Cost per month
5GB / 16k £50.00
10GB / 32k £75.00
20GB / 64k £100.00
40GB / 128k £175.00

For a 40Gb Bandwidth on my other server it was £20 a month and they worked fine for almost a year until now

For reliability I'd recommend www.appliedi.net 12 months uninterrupted service with 24 hour support.

Appliedi is about £80 a month for 20Gb of Bandwidth There seems to be a big gap in the market for a decent server at sensible prices here.

I use hostonce.com for my personal webspace. Not as reliable, but alot cheaper.

You get what you pay for really.

There seems to be no real standard to charge for hosting. I had 40Gb bandwidth + 1Gb space for £20 a month until recently they were fantastic hosts

If your site isnt working Christian try typing in your numerical IP and see if that works. ( See other thread as I have that problem )

Company I work for primarily do server colocation (your server in our racks) £125 a month or £1250 per year, 20gb per month, good support, burstable to 2mb, extra b/w £50 per 5gb

Not in London, not the cheapest but good reliable and friendly

Not going to get in a pi55ing contest with anyone about costs, just quoting the numbers
