Web Hosting for Video

We've had this discussion before, but I thought I would bring it up as to which hosting service to use.

I was turned onto StartLogic.com several years ago by Jay. I just renewed my hosting service for this year and the space and bandwidth has skyrocketed.

For $6.95/month ($5.95 for 2 years), I was able to get 15 gig and 1,500 of bandwidth last year.

Today I just renewed and got 300 GB of space and 3,000 GB transfer/month for the same amount. That's a phenomemal amount of space for $83.40/year.

For this price, I can also use my space as incremental remote file backup (my backup application supports it).

Are you sure it's 3000GB/month of transfer? Or is it 3000Gb/month? There is a factor of 8 difference there, and almost without exception ISPs measure bandwidth in bits insteast of bytes.

It's 3,000GB.

There is another service factor I haven't seen a metric for.

Say you get unlimited bandwidth (as offered by some hosting companies), but your video site is served from a 200 MHz Celeron with 128MB RAM, shared with 768 p0rn video sites.

How much is this "unlimited bandwidth" going to help you in that case?
