Check out their bargain bin specials: <a href="http://xlhost.com/bargainbin.php">http://xlhost.com/bargainbin.php</a> It looks like they still have a couple left for 59.99 a month. I wouldn't be too worried about the bandwith, they provide some bandwith monitoring tools, and buying an extra TB of bandwith a month isn't the end of the world if its needed ($50 extra, not as outrageous as some companies charge).<br>

</div>That sounds pretty good, but I guess their prices have gone up:<br>

<a href="http://xlhost.com/" target="_blank">http://xlhost.com/</a><br>
<br>
If I were to run email distribution lists from there, that could add up to<br>
a lot of bandwidth, I guess. I assume that email bandwidth costs the same<br>
as other kinds of bandwidth.<br>
