Guys...

On this topic. $1,800.00 should provide a heck of a lot more than 1 year of hosting! How much bandwidth are we talking about here and are we still looking at 300,000 pages weighing 2.5Gigs?

Yes if you are using one of the so-called premium service providers at their overpriced rates then you wll go through that money mighty quick however even if you are hitting high bandwidths of up to 1000Gigs a month which I doubt, you will not be spending quite that much money.

For example if the site maxes out on bandwidth (I mean huge bandwidth) you could find a dedicated server package for $129/month with the following:
HD: 40Gig
Bandwidth: 1000Gig
With root access.

If you're under the 100Gig bandwidth area you can get in for under $100/Month and if you measure bandwidth in MBs then you can host for a couple of hundred dollars a year if that.

* I am not affiliated with the providers but I do a heck of a lot of web development and keep tabs on who's-who as much as I can.

So... Back to my question: [b]How much bandwidth?[/b] 

The most popular site our company has built and managed, a Mining resource corp trading TSX, AMEX and LSE (AIM) (That's Canada, US and Europe) barely tipped the scales to just over 4Gigs at it's peak. Our site which gets a measly 30 visits a day (500 - 600 hits a day) measures bandwidth in MBs. 

Peter, that's a fantastic offer and kudos to Parallax and others for supporting the site.
