Where can I find a resource that has information for people who want enormous amounts of bandwidth and storage space?
Searching google has been unsuccessful, they're all offering little amateur plans. Sometimes I even get results for plain old ISP deals for 19.95 a month! I need to host a business. |

You need to be more specific with what you are needing.
Do you need a scalable hosting plan?
Dedicated server?
what kind of traffic are you expecting? |

Scalable hosting! That was the last thing I googled before I mad this topic (and I got absolutely nothing)! Haha, I was beginning think maybe nobody out there would understand my needs.
I want the business to grow, it's going to be a file upload/download service, but with an EXTREMELY unique twist. I don't want them to cut off my bandwidth when it gets past a certain rate, the skies the limit. |

| Also, I wish I had some clear cut prices. Like $$$/per megabyte, so I can shop better. |

You have to start somewhere so before you start thinking big please be more specific about your initial needs for:
- Storage space
- Specific server application requirements
- Traffic expectations

You won't find anything that specifically detailed usually for normal usage, excessive bandwidth usage indications on the other hand tend to be more clear on a $ per megabyte costs.
You'll need to make calculations yourself and also take into account the ups and downs of the various hosters. |
