I've got the domain, I've got webhosting on a phat pipe, am I going to be able to survive bandwidth consumption from you guys?

Another host could be handy for some. As for bandwidth.....atot > bandwidth. Host a small video and see how many GB is used in hours. :p

Maybe if there was a pinned topic or something listing all of the different pic hosting sites... right now I think another one would just add to the confusion.

I looooooved it :D I kinda have "unlimited" bandwith as long as I don't overdue it in a bad way. Once in a month doing such a VS-Video thingie is no problem :)

5GB/month free, $0.99 per GB afterwards. I think I can handle upto about 20GB/month or so to start with without having to resort to some sort of paid-premium service. I'm going to look into a couple other ideas so as to get "unlimited" bandwidth to burn - but I have limits right now.

I think I've heard that pics.bbzzdd.com goes through ~75GB per month?

Yeah - that's why I'm asking if current hosting is adequate to everyone's needs right now. I'm trying to see if investing in it can be worth the hassle.

Out of curiosity, how much is it costing you guys to do the pic hosting?

If it's not TOO bad, I wouldn't mind opening up shop with a hosting site of my own.

I got in on a server deal and own ~10% of a server so I pay about $17/month for my hosting plan.

If you only have 5GB per month it's not really worth it.

pics.bbzzdd.com uses roughly 90GB bandwidth total per month.
