im not sure who is the best host, but this compnay seems fine. if you have experience in using other host providers, please let me know.

hostpapa.co.uk has a package with unlimited bandwidth. is it worth it since they have have topped the table at http://uk-hosting-review.com/

thank you

There's no such thing as unlimited bandwidth, it's just marketing.

The one from 1&1 with 20GB allowance will be plenty.

If you're not sure of this kind of thing, and don't actually see this amount of traffic yet, then that's all you're going to need. It'll easily cover you.

that uk-hosting-review.com is a fairly blatant advert for hostpapa and I would not trust their review to be honest.

I find it a little too much of a coincidence that both sites are registered to addresses in the same town in Canada!

Bandwidth is the amount of data that is requested from your website over time. It is expressed in terms of kilobytes per second (Kbps). The Need of bandwidth is to be very high (or) can be even unlimited that depends upon the service. Due to bandwidth(Traffic), you can access the site very fast and can able to load lot of visitors at a time. I don't have any idea about the Host which you have mentioned here. I had a website which contains lot of advertisements, videos and information etc.. I was searching for google to host my site with a service which gives unlimited bandwidth. Finally I got http://www.9cubehosting.com/cheap_hosting/ which specifies my needs and offers Shared, VPS and Dedicated Hosting with extraordinary bandwidth at reasonable cost. Now my site runs perfectly without any problems.
