I can serve 3TB a month and I do 30GB. What I don't have is CPU power. I have a one CPU VPS. The CPU is shared resource. I think the RAM used by the VPS is more "available," if that makes any sense. That is they don't swap you out but let your VPS sit in RAM. So something RAM intensive is fine but CPU intensive is not. <br></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Off-topic, we used to use GoDaddy for VPS for our free/open source software project.
