Chicken is correct, most hosts won't list this as it is quite a trivial item compared to other things and it only takes 30 seconds to setup as well.
I'd urge most people to ask a host they think they are interested in about any features that are not listed.
We have a fair few sites that use over 1Gb a month, we have 2 that use over 2Gb per month and 1 that uses 4-5Gb per month and another that we know will use 4-5Gb when it comes online.
But then again it all depends on the type of sites that you host, quite a lot of our sites are corporate...
Most hosts that cost tripple the price you are after paying will not allow you to run a redirection service. Quite a lot of hosts do this now, so make sure you read the AUP.
It's called doing yourself out of business, if they allow you for $50 per month to host as many other websites as you want then they are going to be loosing money.
As a side note, unlimited bandwidth and diskspace don't exist, anyone who tells you otherwise is not to be trusted.
Webdude - I couldn't agree more, the thread was a perfect example of how it should be done, there was no hard sell, just simple, honest facts and a positive attitude by all.
It's not as if it's expensive to phone them, it's only like 9p a minute from the UK in the evening, heck it's p a minute to phone long distance in the UK during the daytime. It's also only 9p a min on Orange.
Yes our servers aren't in the UK but all of our customers have commented how much faster their sites are compared to their old hosts such as NetBenefit.
Just out of interest how does 100gb of transfer give room to grow for someone wanting 200gb?
I would recommend you take a look at UltraSpeed USA or UK ( http://www.ultraspeedusa.com or http://www.ultraspeed.co.uk )
The module you are talking about is actually a Java Servlet called Cocoon which processes XML and it's associated stylesheets (XSL) into whatever format you want the output to be in, be it HTML, WML, PDF.
It is very clever technology, especially when you throw in XSP - XML with Java code...
