It will have Videos, Flash movies and games, Pictures and other such content on, similar to SomethingAwful or Ebaumsworld (but all my content will be original… :P).

What I wanted to ask, was what would be the best hosting company/tariff to start out with?

Obviously at the start I wont be getting loads of traffic, although some of the files will be fairly large (maybe 10MB+ for some videos). I will also at some point be adding a forum to the site, although I imagine this will come after the site is first set up.

Does anyone have any ideas or good reccomendations on who I should use? Bear in mind that the site is being created by 4 friends, and we dont want the bandwidth costs to be huge, but we also dont want bandwidth to run out.

Cheers for any help in advance.
