From the site above:

150 GB New Zealand and
10 GB International Traffic :lol: :lol: :lol:
If you only need 160GB of bandwidth you would be better to get shared hosting or a reseller account which would only cost a fraction of that amount. I would personally never buy a dedicated server (or shared hosting on a server) in New Zealand because local prices are quite simply a joke. If you want a dedicated server The Planet (http://www.theplanet.com/) is very popular. :)


colocation could also be a good option once you learn how to run a server. Im looking at it at the mo, but its way out of my budget (no money, still at college etc...)By the time you pay the datacenter fees and buy the server it would be more costly than hiring a dedicated server in most cases.

160GB is FAR more bandwidth than most sites will ever use. 10GB of local traffic could certainly be a bit tight, but 150GB international wouldn't be restrictive to many people at all.

413240 2005-12-20 06:55:00 Very true, but we are talking about someone who needs a dedicated server here. I don't know of many sites that need a dedicated server but only go through 150GB of bandwidth. As I said in my post above, unless you have high CPU needs or something like that, shared hosting should cover most people's requirements up to about 250GB of bandwidth, when it would be a good idea to start considering other options. :2cents: maccrazy (6741)
