 HostWay?
im looking at HostWay.com
SuperPower Plan offers 150 GB Storage, 1500 GB Traffic, and 3,000 Email accounts, for a special introductory price of only $9.95 per month for the first 6 months!
How are they able to do this? seems like i pay 30x more for something only 2x more... or are they going to cut you off as soon as you start using more than allowed % of server resources... weird...

If you're paying $300 per month for 2TB bandwidth, something's not right.

It's called overselling. It means that the host is offering more space and bandwidth than they can afford to, because they think that their users will never reach the massive limit imposed. It is used to entice new clients, usually people who haven't had much experience with the hosting world.
Most new hosts that oversell space don't last very long, but ones like hostway.com, midphase.com, hostmonster.com and many more have been around for a while, and can actually afford to keep the few clients that do reach the limits.
With hosting, you should always go for quality, not quantity. Remember, you get what you pay for.

Anyone offering that much space and bandwidth is bad news. If you're looking for quality hosting, I say stay away.
