I'm looking for a new ISP, and have discovered that it's a minefield! I could spend weeks at this and end up more confused than ever. I'll tell you my needs - can anyone make any suggestions?
My new ISP needs to host a 150 MB demo download that might (I hope!) be downloaded more than 1000 times in a single month. OK, realistically it probably won't be that popular at first, but I don't want the site to crash if there is an unexpected spike in interest. (The main game will be hosted elsewhere.)
The demo won't be available until December next year, and until then the bandwidth needs will be MUCH lower. Also, it's a pretty simple site, a single domain with no extra features. I'm making the game in my spare time so don't have the budget to pay for features or bandwidth that I won't use.
Any suggestions?
