[ubuntu-us-nm] Hosting Suggestions Needed

[Jay N. Forrest]

Hi Nick,

I will definitely be testing the unlimited deal with my audio files at
40MB per mp3 a show, plus the ogg version. The simple fact is that most
websites are text based and don't take up much space. Actually very few
websites need more than a few hundred meta bites. It all averages out
when you think about it.
