Anyon has sugestions of free/dirt cheap servers with unlimited bandwitch? I'm about to pust a few of my short movies online and from my past experience know that i can eat up my bandwitch in 2 days.

There's a swedish one, €1 (!!) euro a month, 125 mb space (€2 euros for 250 mb) and it has unlimited bandwidth.

no provider has "unlimited" bandwidth...read the contract very carefully.
there is no such thing.
besides, right on the site it says what limits the transfer is?!
transfer is bandwidth.

Ha - look at that. I take back what I just said. Seems the bandwidth isn't unlimited for foreign customers.

look, i realise not everyone has a ton of cash to pay for hosts, but you get what you pay for. cheap generally has more problems than the cost is worth.
and, usually "cheap" hosts find other ways in the contract to charge fees and fines.
cheap accounts are hugely limited in space and transfer, not too mention in features like account control and function...like database, email accounts, etc.
a reasonably cheap fee for a good host is usually around the 20-30 dollar mark (usd).
i've had them for years and probably about a day of downtime overall....and their features are well worth the extra cash.

Then only thing i care about right now is space (above 100 MB) and unlimited pipeline.
The rest i couldn't care less becaue i will be only hosting videos on that server while pointing directly from my site (from a cheap host).

Rasko that plan has 5GB limit.

well, there really isn't 'unlimited' bandwidth.
someone has to pony up the cash for it, and it can get real expensive for businesses to cover that cost themselves.
even if you host it yourself, on your own server you have to pay bandwidth cost.

having unlimited bandwidth is little use to people if it dishes it out at 2k/sec... check the speed also

maybe it could be unlimited if it's sponsored or something like that. never heard of a commercial host who had unlimited transfer. it's quite a lot of money what commercial hosts have to pay for bandwith. and they get charged as well if they go over it.

...so what am i suppose to do? write "only 500 viewings per month alowed"?
- rasko40
you pay

why don't you ask MT if they'll sponsor you?

You can get 700GB/mth transfer for $100/mth at ev1...
But thats their bottom end...does anyone know cheaper deals than that?

Not sure what there like but the advertise "Unmetered data transfer"

no such thing as unlimited... what they offer is unmetered. that means they don't check your bandwidth unless it starts slowing down their network. i did one of theses "unmetered bandwidth" hosts thinking it was a deal once, and they put you on a shared server that will shut down your site if you are taking more than 1/100th of the cpu usage or something... i was down all the time when i had that plan. I then upgraded to the "business level" plan (which wasn't that much more) and get about 30GB transfer a month (i come pretty close to going over that some months) and the site is never down. http://www.nexpoint.net
