The bandwidth allotted for each account always seemed infinite.  In an entire month, I never exceeded 1% of my limit.  Now, my website is growing and this month I used up 7% of it.

7% is a far cry from 100%, but it still gets me worried.  I want my site to keep growing, after all.  What happens when I run out of bandwidth?  Does my site get shut down?  Can I pay for more?

Thanks for your help.

i think that they upgrade it to 1TB (1 terrabyte (1024 gigabytes)) for free

You will get a warning for system admin, if you continue to use that much bandwidth - then its time to go to dedicated hosting 

Its so the bandwidth is not being used up by one person.

[cowbird]

That's fair.

If I do start paying for hosting, is there any way to keep my .110mb url working without still eating up 110mb's bandwidth?

That is, I think, impossible, because 110mb's subdmains are necessarily attached to 110mb's servers.

What you could do is to buy a domain and let your visitors access your site through the domain, so you can change the host service without changing URL.

Oh, and when you go out of bandwidth, it usually says "This user has exceeded the monthly bandwidth" and doesn't show your site. At least is what happens on other servers

Could I get a new host but keep my 110mb account and set it up such that the 110mb url redirects to a different url that is hosted by the new host?  If so, how would I do that?

It wouldn't altogether eliminate bandwidth use on 110mb but I think it would reduce it.

I don't want to steal 110mb's bandwidth, but I would like to keep my 110mb url if I could.

Nearly impossible to use that much bandwith. Either way, I've use 8 percent so far, and my site's only been around a few weeks (NetAttack). If it gets too hefty, I will move to my server.

Sorry for reposting this.  I edited something else into this question, but I feel like it was easy to read over.

No, you cannot configure DNS records at 110mb.com. And redirection is against the ToS.

If you want to use your own domain, now would be a good time to get started.

[Slittzle]

well if you paid the $19 for upgrades, yea you can do the redirection. Also if you moved your site you can still do a redirection with html tags which is perfectly legal, since you could have a landing page telling people to go to the new site and then using a meta redirect to redirect them after xx seconds. That way 110mb gets some promotion, but the user still gets pushed along to the new site.

Your chances of using that much bandwidth are slim, but it's still possible to get high up. Quite a big deal of sites on 110mb use up a lot of bandwidth, so I don't think it'll be a problem so long as the b/w is used for php/html/js/css files and not rar,zip,video files.

In any case, if your site is exceeding the appointed bandwidth then 110MB will automatically boost the limit up to 1 TB. And indeed, you will get an email from the 110MB admin advising you to search for a dedicated server. 110MB will host your site however until you get a new host so you will not see any errors.

[General_Kerr]

for you i'd see about hosting my images at another site, just find a free image host and U R Set

you'll have to use absolute url's for it.

[manicgames]

Like I said, even the most popular sites on 110mb don't use near 300 gig of bandwidth. I am not worried, I have a backup plan, and 110mb will warn you if your bandwidth limit gets too high.

[SoCalSubbuteo]

I host all my image files in Picasa, that way they do not use up any of my allotted disk space or bandwidth when displayed.

a solution would be to upload a page to 110mb that redirects the user to the new page.

Like this:

Code:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="5;URL=NEW_WEBSITE.html">

<Script>
<!-- Activate Cloaking
//****************************************
//           Transfer 1
//
//  Automatically transfer a visitor to
//     a new page with the META TAG
//
//  by Tim Wallace   (timothy@essex1.com)
//****************************************
// De-activate Cloaking -->
</Script>

Everything is defined here ->  CONTENT="5;URL=NEW_WEBSITE.html"
the number 5 after "content" means that the page will wait 5 seconds before redirecting the visitor to the new link. The URL part, I don't think is it necessary to explain.

See ya
