The Internet is teeming with web hosting providers and buying a reliable and affordable web hosting service can sometimes become a daunting task given the astronomical number of web hosting companies out there. A few steps and preliminary homework would help you choose the right provider and save you probable loss of money and effort put in. Whether you are looking for online presence, sharing information or creating an online business, a reliable web hosting solution naturally becomes indispensable in order to achieve this. A powerful web hosting solution offers all-inclusive features and benefits that facilitates downloading, browsing and prompt updating of your website in minimal time.
An e-commerce enabled website would require advanced features as well as high end security and the customer needs to ensure in advance that the web hosting company is well equipped to handle these aspects. Once you have zeroed down on the web hosting company, it is wise to analyze the various packages offered with their corresponding features and benefits, the fee structure, any kind of hidden fee involved, their terms and conditions etc. Mentioned below are a few important aspects to be considered when buying web-hosting services:
Disk Space and Bandwidth
It is important to ascertain in advance as to how much disk space or the amount of storage your website would require. This specific amount of storage or disk space is offered by the hosting company and is dependent on the type of package you choose. The bandwidth equates to the amount of traffic that your website would receive. It is important to note here that greater the traffic your website receives, greater is the bandwidth required. Also, more graphics and downloads from your website implies higher storage and higher bandwidth for your website.
Operating System and Programming Tools
You need to make sure that the web hosting company utilizes highly secure servers and the latest operating system, in order to upload your website. Most web hosts run on a UNIX based operating system, usually Linux or BSD. ASP, .NET, MS SQL, SBS and others are required for running various web applications and a web-based host is the best solution to achieve this.
Pricing Structures
It is vital to compare and analyze the various pricing structures of different web hosting companies and the corresponding features and benefits attached with their respective hosting packages. Do not be deluded by the fact that higher pricing equates to better services and features. Many affordable web-hosting providers offer quality and superior services. It is only wise to go in for a company that has been around for a while.
Uptime, security, backup and support
Most of the web-hosting providers offer 24/7 customer support through toll free or local numbers. An e-commerce enabled website required high-end security features at all times. This aspect cannot be ignored or overlooked in order to ensure smooth and hassle free web site hosting. Also ensure that the company offers 99% to 99.9% uptime guarantee with all their hosting packages.

Lol, well then according to OVH’s terms of service you should be paying more!
My discussions with them they said i would have to move up to a premium traffic plan if i use in excess of the 5TB range….
Also… if you look at my calculations above the connection will only allow a max of just over 1TB a day… :p
And OVH provide 100mbps per CLIENT not per server unless you pay more.

My wife and I are building a website for our business through a program that is available online. This program shows you what is being searched by the masses and tells you what keywords you should use to gain ranking in the search engines. This program allows you to plug in any type of website that you wish to design and will help you step by step on how to build it right so you can get rankings above your competitors. I would be happy to give you more information about this program if you would like to email me at robertbreitling@yahoo.com or if you would like to read more about it you can in my Yahoo Answers Profile page.

Wrong Unmetered But NOT unlimited
Example u have unmeter bdwidth on dedi server with 100Mbit port MAX transfer u get
100Mbit = 12.5MB
which is 1.029968TB day max a month thats a max of almost 31TB Which is a lot, but NOT unlimited.
Also bare in mind ALL datacentres have caps on unmetered servers so if you are using say
5TB transfer they will ship you to a high rate or ask to pay x / hundred GB
Note im a host i know what i do and so do the larger companies which i
work with
