Okay, a friend of mine needs webspace for her page, only problem is it's this massive page and the server she's on now wants to charge her for bandwidth cause she's way over their limit...Now here's the things she's looking for:


$50/month or less
150MB space or more
40GB transfer/traffic or unlimited*
accepts adult material


When we say adult material we aren't talking porn, more that she has a few nc-17 stories on her site.

We can probably be flexible about the price(a little higher, but not by too much), and she already has a domain name. Any ideas?

Stay away from an unlimited host. (Shocker: They aren't really unlimited!).

Here's the thing... I am not sure what level the site is at *now* but if it is close to 40 Gb/mo then there really aren't going to be many options for her. She is going to be told that she needs to move the site to either an extemely limited dedicated server (limited in accounts), or a fully dedicated server.

The adult material factor is going to kill her in terms of finding something as well (just in terms of finding many choices at least). What I can think of does *not* allow adult content (and I believe this includes what her site contains).

(I was actually considering trying a project for people like this, but I'm not sure she'd want to be a test monkey).
