    Speaking of "Bandwidth" Or shall I say Bandnarrow?
    Not that I expect or even hope that any of you regularly look at my site, but if you have tried to check it out in the past two weeks, you probably haven't been able to. The reason being is that my site exceeded my ISP's paltry 1GB bandwidth.
    I have been going back and forth with my ISP to get it back up, which has been way too much of a hassel..
    Anyway..
    My question is how much bandwidth do you have for your website? Especially those of you utilize what webspace your ISP provides you.
    My ISP provides 10 MB of storage space and GB of bandwidth.
    I have looked around some and have for other ISP's give y ou 3 GB of bandwith. Yahoo's GeoCities gives you 3 GB of bandwidth for free!

    When I started up my website I was referred to webmasters.com. It is a little over $100 for a year. You get 1 GB of space and 30GB/month when it comes to bandwith. I am just shy of a GB of photos and movies (okay two movies), had 7000 users last month and 100000 page reads, I barely went of 10 GB of bandwith.

    I would highly recommend them...

    Thanks for the info, but I am doing what I can to do my site on a very limitied budget.
    In addition to what I pay for my ISP's DSL, I also pay $9 a year to have it forwarded to mtbbrian.com. Call me cheap, but I prefer to be called frugal.

    Purehost...
    ...which took over all of DellHost's accounts, gives you 750MB storage and 20G transfer a month for $20+.

    I'm perfectly satisfied with their service, but I have a few other domains that I'd like to create sites for, and I certainly cannot afford 20bucks a month for each of them, so I'll probably be looking into some budget hosting too...

    LOL Shane...
    I look at my site as more of a personal one, but it has given me the opportunity for a few sales of my work.
    I my site is STILL NOT UP, from last month! Thanks Mindspring! :mad: :mad:
    Getting it back up has been a MAJOR PAIN IN THE BUTT! :mad:
