Used to be a regular on these forums, and am a decade long customer of PN - hoping that the people of this commuity can help me.
I am looking to switch hosts away from our current provider for a car club that I run. The reason being that last month there was a technical fault on our server and for some strange reason it has recorded over 4 terrabytes of usage in 2 days (which is physically impossible on the 100mbps connection the server has) the current hosts refuse to accept this was a technical glitch, even after I showed that the logs for the only client on the server (car club) has 130GB usage for the month (our limit is 2000GB). Needless to say the invoice is being disputed as it is clearly a fault - but they are not having it (nor do I think they can understand it).
Therefore Im looking for the following:
20/30 GB Hard disk space
100mbit connection
minimum 300GB month transfer limit (though unlimited would be better to avoid the possibility of another error like the one above)
2GB ram burstable to more preferably
VPS is fine, as long as it can support a very busy forum (1m+ page views per month) currently running phpbb3 and would like to continue to do so.
MYSQL
preferably UK based call centres that can understand problems when raised.
God I wish PN did commercial hosting like this. Im looking at anything around the £30 a month, so it will almost certainly be Virtual Server.
Any help really appreciated, as Im up against it with our curent hosts. We are in danger of having our site shut down just two days before our big event where we are raising money for terminally ill children at Hope House. To say Im gutted that these clowns at our current hosts cant understand that they have made an error is an understatement. Ive been close to tears as the hard work for our impending event could be wasted
Really appreciate any help from people on here

Control Panel is really nice, and their support has always been responsive.

If you want to keep the forum, I'd look at moving away from apache and towards using nginx + php-fpm for the smaller memory footprint.
