Is this true about Godaddy?

My hosting server got hacked into and they erased everything. I’m looking to get a more secure server and started looking around at prices and features. I was thinking of media temple’s shared server for $7.95 a month (with 30gigs of bandwidth) with a 2 year commitment, but then I saw godaddy offering 500gigs of bandwidth for $9.95 a month. Is this correct?? Why so much bandwidth for only $2 more? Also, opinions on both are appreciated!

Thanks,
Haig
