what about network solutions??

You're right on the dedicated server part. Sorry miss typed what I was trying to say.

At any rate, we use TONS of bandwidth & storage, & have NEVER been charged anything more than what we signed up for. I seriously doubt that even the best soap selling site out there will use more than they are willing to give you for that price.

Ian: as far as hosting goes, most hosting plans already offer more than enough space and bandwidth.... what you want to look for is a company that offers great support and has a good hosting service (minimal downtime, quick loading times, etc).

Reseller package -- to give you an example, when I was doing web design, I paid $45/month for a reseller package which allowed me to host multiple websites -- I would charge my clients to host their sites and make a nice profit in the process. You don't need this

For domains, go with GoDaddy.com -- less than $10/year for a domain.

If you need some direction, feel free to PM me -- I've been doing this kinda stuff for 10 years and would be happy to offer you some guidance and help you get the best deal for your needs.

I agree completely !!

A normal site operating at normal levels won't ever go over what a host considers "too much"

If you grow though, and get busier and busier then it's different. It also depends on what type of site. A standard site even with a shopping cart isn't too resource intensive unless you're bringing in GOBS of heavy traffic. A forum or something of that nature is though, and hosts tend to frown on one client using more of their CP resources, memory resources than what's fair.

We have forums, a gallery, & a standard site set up on our hosting package. And we're using the "baby gator" pkg. We are a WAY busier site now than when we first signed on with them. Our traffic grows every month, which is awesome

Go with that 12.95 hostgator account. It will suit your current needs at a good price
