Good luck.

Hopefully they dont cram like 200+ accounts on one server to make up for the low prices.

Some of their paid accounts give you a load of disk space but no bandwidth. For example

10Gb Disk space
35Gb Bandwidth

I use close to 30GB with under 500MB of disk. What good is 10GB of disk space if you cant transfer anything. You use 1/3ed your bandwidth for a month just using up your disk allotment. Their highend package is worse at

30Gb Disk space
50Gb Bandwidth

Quite frankly if I was interested in a high storage hosting package I would want at a better ratio of bandwidth to disk.

Something like

10GB disk
100GB BW

or

30GB disk
500GB BW

But you sure ant gonna find that for $150 a year either.

Iamyourhost.com
Has Tier 1 bandwidth providers, SBC and Allegiance, built on a Cisco powered network. We guarantee 99.9% uptime and will provide you credit for any downtime experienced due to the Web-xperts.com network. For security reasons, pictures will not be provided

Cisco Powered Network
Every Iamyourhost.com server is connected to a 100% Cisco Powered Network. Using enterprise-class Cisco networking gear, all routers, layer-2 switches, and layer-3 switches are tested in labs prior to deployment to ensure stability and interoperability.

Redundant High Bandwidth Connectivity
Using multiple Tier 1 Service Providers, Iamyourhost.com leads the discount dedicated hosting industry with our 99.9% uptime guarantee, ensuring the highest degree of security against network downtime and the fastest possible data transfers.

Connectivity For Pennsylvania Datacenter
The Network Operations Center is connected via OC192 fiber connections to Verizon™ (Formerly Bell Atlantic PA) & Commonwealth Telephone (CTSI), Northeast PA's 2nd largest Telco, as well as 2GBPS+ fiber from PPL Telcom™, a sub-division of Pennsylvania Power & Electric™ (PPL™). web-xperts.com utilizes Sprint™ & AT&T™ OC3 (155mbps) connections, as well as 100MBPS Metro Fast Ethernet drops from Cogent™ , Level3™ , & Global Crossing™ (Jan 2003). For redundancy, Iamyourhost.com is currently running BGP4 (border gateway routing protocol) to maintain the speed and uptime. If one backbone line goes down, it will balance the load to the other(s). If one line gets congested, it will load balance the traffic. Iamyourhost.com is currently negotiating with major backbone providers to open POPs (Points of Presence) in the Iamyourhost.com Scranton PA facility. This will increase speeds tremendously due to on-site peering arrangements. Such would allow fiber connections directly to major US peering points/hubs like MAE-EAST, MAE-NYC (8th Avenue), & Halsey Street, avoiding RBOC/CLEC Telco loops. Iamyourhost.com is currently the only major data center/co-lo facility within 60-75 miles of the Tier-3 Scranton/Wilkes-Barre PA USA Metro Area.

Connectivity For Texas Datacenter
Servers share the digital distribution architecture of Iamyourhost.com , which is comprised of more than 25 high-speed private peering connections to major Internet carriers such as MCI, Sprint, UUNET, AT&T, AOL, Best, Erols, and others. Iamyourhost.com also has high-speed links to 8 public exchanges including both MAE East and West and several NAPS. To use an analogy, the private peering connections allow data to travel from New York to LA on a non-stop flight, while the public exchanges require a stop over. Our data center, located in San Antonio, Texas, and Scranton, PA have been built from the ground up to powerful connections to our carriers to ensure that we meet our 99.9% uptime guarantee.

Bandwidth Utilization
It is a common misconception that the amounts of bandwidth (size of the pipes that carry the data) differentiate web hosting companies. In reality it is not only the size of the pipes that matters, it is the utilization levels. The utilization of our Internet connections is vital to a network's ability to transfer data without packet loss or latency. Iamyourhost.com trys to keep all connection usage below 50% to avoid any connectivity problems.

Dynamic Routing
Iamyourhost.com runs the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP4) for best case routing. The BGP4 protocol is a standard that allows for the routing of packets of information sent out from our network. Each packet of information is evaluated and sent over the best route possible. Because of our redundant network architecture, packets may be sent via alternative routes even if they are being delivered to the same end user. Should one of our providers fail, packets leaving our network are automatically redirected through another route via a different provider.

Pretty much just copied that from RackShack? Why do some hosts feel the need to pretend that the datacenters are their own? It just makes me wonder about the integrity and honesty of the people involved.
