    Go dedicated, that is the only way.. you can't get 5TB of bandwidth for $10 monthly, sorry dude ;)

    Could VPS possibly be an alternative for him? or must it be fully dedicated?

    Hmmm. I use Hostgator too, but so far I haven't had a problem with them. I've never heard of this policy against image hosting -- everybody has some pictures on their website. What does Hostgator have against a site that's mostly images? :confused: I'll have to check this out.

    I think they mean sites that have the sole purpose of hosting images as a free service for most, like imageshack, just as an example.
