I have a couple of questions about bandwith.

First of all: Do you know a few good hints or tips for saving bandwith, cus i'm running out of it?

Second: If I host an image on another server (like geocities) and link my site to it, does it cost bandwith for me?

Thanx in advance

Bandwidth saving tips:

No MP3s
No Videos
Reduce image quality a bit and use JPEG or PNG

MP3s and Video files are massive bandwidth hogs - so are high-resolution, high-quality pictures.

As you've stated yourself, it is a good idea to host your pictures elsewhere and provide thumbnails on your page here. That will surely save you a hell lot of bandwidth.

its perfectly possible to use geocities for image hosting and hotlink, but if you read the terms of service they can quite reasonably delete your account. fair enough i say if they get not return for their service. i was doing that for a while but now ive got astahost it's fine. also if using a service like geocities the bandwidth on your geocities accound will be absolutly rubbish and if you have lots of images that might be a problem

seems odd though that geocities cant be bothered to stop it, on my cpanel it takes only a second to set blocking up.
