Bandwith questions...

[-=[101st]=-]

okay... this is not a bitch thread so please do not bitch in it...

i noticed that the site had exceeded its bandwith limit... this annoyed me a little.. until i realised that it all costs money... but that got me thinking... how much bandwith allowance does this site have?? and...
how much does it cost a month for that sort of bandwith?

Ya, I couldn't get on for like 4 hours or something like that. I was kinda mad. I didn't really understand it at all though. Can anyone help me out?

well it is all about how much information is allowed to pass through the server.. once it reaches that amount.. u get the message that you recieved.. i am just wondering how much that is... and what the cost is...

 

[Highway Penguin]

Like how many people? Or how much information is going through?

 

[-=[101st]=-]

information.. but logically, the more people, the more information...

Ya. I was all sad when I couldn't get in. I wonder how often it happens.

the last 2 months cost aproxximately £200 each month

Thats cause we had gays like Newbie/SpitWalker/Matthews making spam threads.

Hitman has made the new Platinum club and joining that means u pay £12 to pay for bandwidth but you get lots of free things such as user title, custom avatar.... e.t.c.

i dunno but ?£200 and hitman only gets 1 or 2 pence per cklik on one of the links!!!!!

but.. are some of the advertising banners and stuff on traffic?? becuase if that is so then.. it would be unreal every day there is roughly 500 - 600 posts.. especially now with all the WE8 news.. + you have all the people who do not posts.. and each forum and thread has the same header.. so that would have to make it close to 2000 times each banner in the header is veiwed... so.. even if it is only 2 pence per hit.. that would make it close to £40.. and that is unreal.. that is running at profit... so why doesn't the web master try to work out a deal with someone to do something like that??

Well I know its something like £90.00 a month, and if bandwith finsihes, he has to pay extra.
