my site is also down due to this “Bandwidth Exceeding” …

Adino: Well, that’s a good sort of problem to have!

i suggest you use gzip compression on your webserver ( if you have access to it) or you try to activate the zlib support in php: http://www.google.de/search?hl=de&q=php+zlib+support&btnG=Google-Suche&meta=

these are some hints. Good Luck

btw: i would not cut down the ads, buy an additional bandwith package instead

Adino: Thanks for the hint! I never knew what the gzip option was for… I’ll go check it out.

Good grief!
Good headache to have.
Go find a new host.
Try Flexihostings
My host. Give me credits.
Aha.

Adino: Thanks for the tip From what you described to me (a wonderful testimonial by the way) I’ll seriously consider Flexihostings when my contract ends (hear that Exabytes?)

Try Amazon S3 for pretty cheap metered space.

50G would be about $10 (US)

Good luck and thanks for the graphic design.

Adino: Thanks for the tip!

I always have my photo elsewhere.
It doesn’t make much sense to put the photo together
Will exceed bandwidth in no time

Adino: I will do that from now onwards

Adino: No la, can’t consider myself pro-blogger when I didn’t even write the content for that post in the first place. I just posted something I got in my email.

This is always the reason why many of the links that have the chance to be featured in the front page of Digg is unreachable. Never underestimate your contents.

Adino: I’m learning this the hard way… but it’s a ‘good’ problem

Now you’ve learned your lesson! next time, post anything that are worthy of diggs, stumbles and what-nots at the end of the month so that your bandwidth will be reset in a few days, LOL.

Good luck!

Adino: Sigh… I never expected this kind of traffic. I will remember this next time.

Quick! SOS to Lilian! She might know how to get you out of this.

Adino: Good idea. If my idea of using Google Web Share doesn’t work then I’ll look for her (but dunno she will layan or not since she’s so busy).
