I am in the process of finding a new Web Host provider for my audio files. One might think this is an easy process… one would be wrong. I need 5 Gig of storage and 500 Gig of transfer per month. If you know of someone who has a plan like that – please let me know.

In the meanwhile, I apologize to all the people who are having a hard time downloading music from me. I’ve quantified and cataloged the problem, but my hosting provider’s support staff refuses to believe it is a problem.
I am working to find a new host as soon as possible.
You have probably tried these already, but these ISPs have tons of bandwidth at low prices and the customer reviews seem OK:

http://hosting.aplus.net/
http://www.parcom.net/
http://www.serversanddomains.com/
http://www.dts-net.com/webhosting/
I know this because I spent yesterday looking for a new ISP. My current ISP only allows 500 MB / month, but when my game is completed the demo will be 200 MB, so if 1000 people download the demo, 500 MB just won’t be enough.
I got the customer reviews from
findmyhost.com
hostsearch.com
comparewebhosts.com
Of all the comparison sites they seemed to be the most helpful.
If you don’t mind doing a self managed why don’t you look at a dedicated server. I currently have one with layeredtechnologies.com for over about two years and have had no problems. They have a dedicated with an 80GB disk and 1500GB Bandwidth for $75/mo.
And if you are not comfortable with setting up the server then you can always get a control panel ( DirectAdmin is cheap and nice ).
