Bandwidth use of free webspace of blogspace?

[Technical Ben]

Hi, I'm considering hosting a couple of images to post in a forum, but it gets lots of visitors and hits. Not sure if it's Google search or something causing the extra hits, or it just gets that many visitors. Basically, if I use my webspace to host the images, I've been told it might get a few GBs worth of downloads from pageviews. Is that too much for the free space?

I've never thought of that.  My thinking was that the webspace is available for as much as the allocated space permits.  I didn't realise downloads of hosted images were relevant.

I would think the only people what would know what is too muck bandwidth will be Support.

If you end up with 50GB being transferred a month they might say something.

What about Flickr or Photobucket?

I think they will be using imgr or whatever it's called. They want to upload screen grabs etc and little images for the programming/artwork they are doing. It's just for the downtime as the Flickr account terms of service changed recently and the hosting is no good.

I host my own stuff in the webspace, but it's never been that successful, so I don't know what would happen if it jumped up to 10GB a month or so.
