Hey Guys What will happen if I host my images on shared hosting plan.... ? Will It Affect loading speed of my website ? Currently I am hosting my images on a photobucket pro account, I also want to know that will it get banned if I excess use it or their bandwidth because as day be day my traffic gets increasing on my websites, their bandwidth using data will be increasing. So will it get banned if I over use it ? If loading speed slow due to image hosting on our own servers, what are the steps to be taken or what can I do to maintain the smoothness of website for user satisfaction. Waiting For some helping relies Thanks
Technically anything you do can/will slow down the server, but whether its noticeable or not is the question. What type of images are you talking about hosting? Unless these are hotlinked by a substantial number of people I dont see a problem. You can get banned for excessive use of bandwidth as well as CPU/HD use. Speeding up your server is a broad question, you're going to have to give more details
As long as you dont overuse resources on the server im sure you would be fine. If you have tons and tons of traffic coming in maybe get a better hosting plan. I feel like you can take the number of pageviews on an image and multiply it by the file size and see how much bandwidth it is using. But hosting images on your shared server should not slow you down. As there are hundreds of sites on that one server.
hosting images on your shared hosting account is fine. as long as you got plenty of space and bandwidth to take that. also if your site abuse the server cpu then that will lead into suspension. We have few client who host image hosting clients on our server without any issue. Your best is to ask a hosting provider if they allow it or not also ask for what is the cpu usage terms. and always read the TOS of any hosting provider. best of luck.
