Mark,
Just curious...why would you have to use a server in S.Africa? You can host your sites from anywhere in the world.
As for the movies..all I know is I have them on my AVS sites and they kill me in bandwidth. When I get them back up (taking a break and revamping
) I'm seriously considering cutting down and/or cutting them out.
Just make sure you get a plan with plenty of gigs included and the key is to find someone with a low overusage fee cuz it's real hard (or at least for me) to gauge what you need with movies and getting killed in overusage fees is what will do ya in.
