I originally signed on with this host because of their affordable shared hosting. It was costing me nearly $50 / year for 250GB bandwidth / month, which was more than enough for the site's traffic. When they made me switch to a VPS, their least expensive plan cost $24.99 for 3 months and came with only 125GB bandwidth / month, which it turns out is not enough for the whole month. To get more bandwidth, the next least expensive plan is double the price and still provides only 200GB bandwidth, and their 300GB plan is triple the price. So, if I stay with this host, annual hosting costs could go from nearly $50 / year to nearly $200 or $300 / year, depending upon how much bandwidth I need. With the new host, I will have both a VPS account and available bandwidth measured in terabytes for closer to $50 or $60 / year, depending on how often I pay for it.
