I was wondering. What is the best web host to put your website on their servers? I was looking through and could not find a great deal. I am looking for something that will handle some heavy volume. This is what I am looking for:

1) At least 100 GB of data transfer
2) At least 2GB of space
3) Allows CGI
4) Allows downloads
5) Is up almost or at 24/7

I use HostSave personally. While they have half of the space you want, they do have the bandwidth, support plenty of whatnot, allows downloads and hotlinking, is up 24/7, and comes with a domain name.

Though, their MySQL databases are slow as hell, my forum is unbearable because of that

uhh, mgamer, what on earth would you need 100gigs of transfer for??

If you already have a site that has a large userbase, in the thousands, then you will probably need a cheap dedicated host, for that kind of traffic.

I use http://www.HostGator.com for my website. It has 2,000 MB space and 20,000 MB data transfer for $9.95. They setup your account within minutes and their support is great.

Their support is great too. I got an answer back from tech support within 7 minutes once.
