Then you will need a server that offers more than 50 megs of space, as well as TONS of bandwidth. (i.e. transfer)

Look at it this way:

My RAGECGI.COM server allows me 35 gigs of bandwidth usage per month.

That means that my visitors could download a 50 meg movie 700 times in that month. (or 23.33... times a day)

This does NOT include the trafic from gallery images, gui images, code, etc.

Currently in the us, I pay 30 bucks a month for that.

So basicly, if you think your users will wait to download a 50 meg reel, which they probably won't unless it's true-streaming, then that's what you should be looking for.

Try https://www.hostsearch.com for a good deal.

OR, maybe Kevin knows of a better deal somewhere...

Good luck!
