    Hi all,

    I took new hosting few days back which is offering high bandwidth(dont want to name it), unfortunately the script installation is getting screwed up there. I installed in my old host and it worked liked a charm. My new host says its script problem... silly reason !! .. Now I'm thinking to dump all images, flash files in new host and link it to the site which is at my old host. Will this bother with new hosts guys?? .. will they raise any concerns??

    Thanks

    I think what you are talking about is hot linking. Having a site on what server but pulling images/moveis/games/whatever off of another server.

    Its perfectly fine to do that since you are paying hosting at both places and both sites are yours.

    Was that what you meant?

    yep, that is what I meant.. Thanks for your reply.

    Considering superpump opinion.. it will be worse if the new host goes down or loads horribly slow...

    Yes it sucks to rely on 2 servers. If either one goes down your site is useless.
