Don't host with them. Especially nothing using PHP/MySQL. To make a profit, they have to overload their servers with customers. Consequently, server resources are low, scripts and databases are slow and the boxes crash all the time. If you're using scripts and databases and getting more than a 1K-2K hits a day, they'll close your account for using too much server resources.

Think about it like this... their cheapest plan is $7.95 for 2000 GB of bandwidth. That's .4 cents per GB. NO ONE, no matter how much bandwidth you buy, provides bandwidth for that cheap. Even Google and YouTube don't pay more than that for bandwidth. And that price does factor in discounts, affiliate commission, employees, server costs, etc.

Sign up for their cheap plan, try and push even close to 2 TB in a month and see what happens.
