Looking for medium hosting

Hello,

I run a secondary site that acts an annex to my main site (which is hosted with a reputable hosting company). The smaller annex site needs a new home -- it is currently hosted on HostGator, on a shared server.

The annex site is about 9GB and grows rather slowly, maybe 1/2 GB per year or so. I use it to display short 1-minute preview trailers imbedded inside of WordPress pages. The videos are currrently hosted on the same Hostgator server.

I don't think I need a full-blown dedicated managed server for this annex site, but shared hosting at HostGator is not enough, as they now officially discourage streaming video on their shared sites, and I have noticed that the trailers are streaming very slow, a deliberate throttling by HostGator in order to discourage this practice. Fair enough. Each video file is about 20 MB, not huge files.

I need something in between these two scenarios. I don't wish to host this annex site as a subdomain on my main dedicated managed server because of the security issues involved with having a WordPress site on the same server as my main site.

I am open to any offers on this package.

Thanks all,
EnzoB
