September 6, 200816 yr How much space do you need?www.webhost4life.com might be a very appropriate option as the have unlimited bandwidth. (Just there allowed size is kinda small 2 or 3 gigs depending on the plan)I have yet to have any downtime... almost 4 years with them too.
September 6, 200816 yr Author Thx Kels, but they're to expensive for that what we need (semi-dedi or dedicated servers with dual-quad core processors and 1 Gig of RAM).Anyway, I've arranged with our current host to monitor bandwidth usage and see if there will be any suspicious activity.I've also enabled hotlink protection so pictures or links can't be posted on other sites and therefore those sites won't steal our precious bandwidth..I'm sorry to say, but there may be more downtimes, (probably short), until we fix this issue.Please be patient as I'm trying to find the best solution for us.Cheers
September 6, 200816 yr Author Depending on your needs theplanet.com has a special price for Celeron 2.0+ servers. It comes with 750 GB transfer per month.I spoke with several people and they said that I need a dual core processor. Celeron could be a bottleneck for us. Also 512RAM might be enough, but I'm worried about the processor.On the other hand, this could be our last hope.
September 7, 200816 yr Author As you may have noticed, we were down once again because we had 21GB of traffic today and only 6GB yesterday.Our host support team acted pretty fast and have put our site back online in just several minutes.I also got a reply from our host that they blocked one IP address server wide which is located in Australia: 61.9.215.94We had a large traffic going on from and to this IP address, so it had to be blocked now.Hopefully, our bandwidth issues are behind us now, if not :nunchaku:

Good work!
September 9, 200816 yr Author Update:We've blocked two additional IP addresses and yesterday we had only 2,5 GB. Now that is reasonable bandwidth consumption for our site.

October 5, 200816 yr Author How does someone leech bandwidth from a website?I would like to know that too. But can you imagine that one IP can leech more than 10 gigs/day of our bandwidth.
October 5, 200816 yr Author So far, today we've made "only" 3,5 GB and yesterday in the same time 20,1GB. Hopefully, we won't have troubles anymoreh, at least for couple of weeks
October 7, 200816 yr Author I've had it with this hosting companies, I would kill someone!Nobody to help me with this from JaguarPC department. Here you can see what answer I got when my site went down:Hi, It appears that your domain "wincert.net" has exceeded its daily bandwidth limit, your account will be unsuspended automatically , Wait till 12:05am. Please let us know if you need further assistance.No shit Sherlock?? And of course, he didn't put it back online.I checked raw access logs and haven't noticed anything suspicious, on the contrary, I've seen that we only spent 6GB of bandwidth on Sunday when we were blocked for using 21GB.So please, can anyone help me find decent web hosting company with the following package..Semi-dedicated serverAt least dual core processorAt least 1GB of RAM1000 GB of bandwidth (unlimited?)Thx
October 7, 200816 yr Author WTF? (lol inside joke)You mean they made a mistake?We were blocked for nuttin?No, they claim that I did have 20GB of traffic, but I don't see that anywhere..
