re: #39 SixDegrees
Actually, Hosting Matters just announced over the weekend that they are removing pretty much all resources charges from their accounts. You pay a flat fee, and that’s it; no additional charge for bandwidth. And their packages are very reasonable.
That’s probably great for your site that nobody goes to. But for a site with a lot of traffic it wouldn’t work. They have bandwidth limits on those plans. And this has a sizable database with multiple servers I would imagine as well.
