Suggest a host please....
Hello
I need a host that supports Java, MySQL and PHP.
All I need is about 20 MB of space, but I need about 5 GB of Bandwidth...
No DNS, just an IP to route to, if possible.
Is this even possible?
I've just got something tht eats up bandwidth that I can't host on my own lines.
Thanks.

If it's that resource intensive, is 5 GB/MO enough??

Add things to your account if you ask, normally for free.
The reason for this message is how much is the laptop going for and are you in the UK

I don't (and I guess alot of other hosts also don't) set up accounts for people using only an IP address and no domain name.
The reason I don't is that in my experience this type of account is "mostly" used by spammers

What do you mean that this sort of account is used by spammers. I use this account or company and I don't spam

I think he means that a lot of spammers request only an IP address and not a domain name, so that could be a potential "red flag" for your order. The reason spammers do this is that most of the time they're not looking for web space, but rather a server just to send bulk mailings out on.
Best of luck to you in finding a host. Unfortunately I can not recommend one to you because I am part of a hosting company myself. You might want to take a look at: http://www.hosthelp.com/ however.
Good luck,

Thats what I meant Brian, and I did also say ""mostly" used by spammers"
When I set up an account for someone I check the whois for the domain name, the IP of the client & the details that they submitted against each other, If they don't match then no account. Maybe I lose out on some genuine business this way (I am sure there are honest people genuinely using an Outer Mongolian ISP for a domain name registered in Pakistan and want the billing to go to Washington, and to those people I apologise for turning down your business)but for me I would rather be safe that having a spammer using all my server resources.
