Bandwidth Revisited

We were down for the nth time yesterday. Just can’t seem to be able to keep up with the exponential bandwidth increment.
We’ve made the rounds with several webhosts and most of them either do not provide the amount of bandwidth we need on shared hosting, or if they do, are too expensive to use. Most suggested we use a dedicated server, but for a small ‘lil blogsite like ours, that’s economically unsound, and we cannot afford that solution.
The good news is our current webhost has announced a very generous (and timely) upgrade in monthly bandwidth to 165GB. With that, they’ve introduced a cap of 5.5GB per day, afterwhich the site shuts down. QC sucks up slightly more than 8GB now. So that probably means we’ll be shut down once every single day. Yikes!
Thankfully we’ve managed to negotiate for an extra bandwidth allowance, by paying more that is! So let’s hope this is the last you’ll be hearing about this problem.
Sorry if this all sounds dreadful and boring. But we figured it’s better to keep you guys informed about what’s happening in the backstage. Now on with the porn!
