it depends on what exactly your looking to do cause i heard amazon has some thing where its like $.01/gb of transfer and of space too but im not sure

You should be looking at hosters that offer unmetered 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps servers.

Numhost is thinking of Amazon's "S3", which is 20 cents/GB transferred + 15 cents/month per Gigabyte of storage, see:

i dont understand how the 10mbps /100mbps works?how much gb of transfer is that?
usually with hosting i see xxx gb transfer.
my site uses about 109-150gb of transfer a day.
can someone explain this to me?

thanks,
jay

Just a matter of doing the math.

1 Mbps = 1,000,000 bits/sec = 125,000 bytes/second
= 122.07 Kbytes/second
= 7,324.22 Kbytes/minute
= 7.15 Megabytes/minute
= 429.15 MBytes/hour
=10,299 MBytes/day
= 10.06 Gigabytes/day
= 301.75 Gigabytes/month [in a 30 day month]

Multiply that by 10 for 10 Mbps, and that's 3000 Gigabytes/month, or 3 TB (terabytes)/month for a 10 Mbps connection, if it's fully saturated the entire month.

Of course, normal sites have peaks and valleys. With an unmetered connection, your "peak" can't go higher than what you pay for. If you want things to be "burstable" above 10 Mbps, you'd pay more.

See ev1servers at:

http://www.ev1servers.net/Dedicated/100Mbps.aspx

although there are lots of other hosts that offer unmetered bandwidth, if you search around the usual hosting forums.
