    Is it possible that i upload all my images to a image hoster and then use their bandwidth instead of mine? If is possible can someone tell me which image hoster would be best for this thx

    Just set up a free account with photobucket.com or one of the other free image hosting sites. Just do a search in google "free image hosting".

    It will save you tons of bandwidth, it's just takes a little managing. Each free image hosting company will give you 1 to 5 gig of bandwidth. I believe photobucket gives you 1 or 2 gig free.

    Try getting a blogspot account, upload your photos into it, and use from there.

    If you're using at least a gigabyte per day of bandwidth, then you really seriously need to look at getting a dedicated server.

    i think the image hoster would ban hotlinking from your site. 1gb/day is a lot and the image hoster wouldnt be happy about it

    Best one I reccommend over and over again.

    Also, if you really want to save bandwidth.. you might need to re-upload your images and edit the image tag urls... if your images get taken off. Lots of work for saving bandwidth though.

    Get a free website and remotely host them from there? There are lots of free websites available. Freewebs, Piczo etc. The saving of bandwidth for a website with lots of images may be quite high. I would also recommend the filetypes in which the images are saved: gif, jpg, png etc. Happy hunting. :)

    Free websites would ban for sure. I would also suggest using Blogspot.

    They could ban. But there are ways around everything. Possibly title the free website as "My Photo Gallery."

    mmm, am afraid that they will find that you are using the images hosted in their servers in another websites and they will close your account and you'll have many problems

    I believe that I can help you with hosting your images remotely, with a limit of 100gb bandwidth per month. PM me if you need the help.
