Thinking reseller

[bwall]

I have some sites and will be adding more in the future. One of my sites will be throwing out a commercial on a cable TV channel after the first of the year. Currently they get about 1GB or bandwidth and around 20-30 hits a month. The TV channel is telling them they can expect 200-300K hits a month. This will push this particular sites bandwidth to about 200 GB a month from what i calculate. I've been wanting to move to a reseller account and thinking of the aluminum plan with 500GB transfer month. Would this be sufficient for the TV move one of my clients is trying to make? Any advice?


Thanks
Bob

that is 10k unique hit per day in average, you should seriously consider a dedicated server for this.

2nd what Charles said. If you're getting that amount of traffic, go dedicated before it becomes a problem. Reseller servers are the same as shared servers. If a site starts to become a problem it will be suspended. With that many visitors you don't want them to see a suspended page while you're scrambling and begging HG to set up your dedicated and getting everything transferred over.

If you have clients and are not already using a reseller account, VPS or dedi, you are in violation of the HG TOS.
