- - ADSL plans (http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2051)

Hello,

I was planning to buy a server to serve this site, connected via an ADSL connection. Apparently, with the number of hits we have, the transfer bandwidth will easily exceed TELUS's 1GB/month limit. Does anyone know of any Vancouver ADSL plans that offer unlimited bandwidth?

what about shaw cable Titus? I have no restrictions on my up or down.

Hi,

Transfer bandwidth is 7 to 8 GB (...big B mean bytes) per month (download) for Telus ADSL. So...how much bandwidth do you need ?

Steve, Shaw doesn't allow servers on their service unless you specifically sign up for the business package. It's about $160/mo and does have transfer limits. Often the best plan is to have a company co-host with you. You use your server on their premises (with their bandwidth)

Hello,

Yes from what I've heard Shaw doesn't allow that.

And Telus have a 1GB/month of upward traffic. When you guys request a page, my server will be uploading the traffic. There's like 40k hits per month already at 60kB/page. That's like 2.4GB of bandwith. And this board is still growing.

Titus, check out the Shaw biz package. It allows 4GB up per month. http://www.shawcable.com/packages/bus.htm

Hi,

If you want to host that much bandwidth, I think you want to do it like it is now. I thought you were hosting much less.

If you look at how much basic ADSL costs ($40/month) and compare that to hosting (say $10/month). There are some places that do free hosting if you register your DNS name with them (i.e. http://www.100best-free-web-space.com ) DNS registration is $35 US.

You can try Novus and see if its available in your area. For $80/month, you get 10 Gigs bidirectional. Additional bandwidth is $8/Gig.

hey Titus, try this company, www.sohoskyway.com if they can sort of offer what you need let me know, i might be able to get you a better deal with them then what the sales rep can do.

Hello,

Thanks. However, at the rate this board is growing, I'm not sure if I'd like to go with any metered bandwidth packages. I also talked to sohoskywave and found that they also have metered bandwidth.
