Steve,
The figures they are giving you are a little vague. You did 51MB over what
time period a day - meaning 1.5GB on a month? What you are looking for is a
company that will not give a rats kazoo about how many visitors or how many
pages you have but how much traffic you draw. I have VOLKSWAGEN.ORG /
TRANSPORTER.CA / ILTIS.CA / FASTFORWARD.CA sitting on my own personal server
on the end of a T1 circuit (downloads are aprox 100 to 130 kb/s). I get one
GB of traffic a month for free and after that is costs something like $50
CAD a GB - the thing is I usually do between 2.3 to 2.5 GB per month (high
and low over the past three) and there is a LOT of bandwidth sucking stuff
at VOLKSWAGEN.ORG - mainly in the multimedia section where I have a lot of
commercials! Without the commercials it would be pretty limited usage.
What is so "intense" about SYNCRO.ORG that is taking all the bandwidth? I
think 3000 hits a day must mean 3000 requests per day - really hard to say.
Ask them for the log so you can verify it yourself. I use a program called
ANALOG which does some really neat stuff! Where do I get my bandwidth from?
A company called ABC Communications here in Quesnel - the catch is I used to
work for them so I get to park my own server there in exchange for some
consulting work otherwise it would cost me a lot more. If you want to visit
their site it is http://www.abccom.bc.ca - they are offering 1Mb/s wireless
internet for $89.95 CAD a month with 4 static IP addresses and 1GB of
traffic a month - pretty good rate for the do-it-yourself web server person.
I will be moving to this in the next month or so.

boot
The web police have caught up with me. This is the
third warning in a 2 weeks. They say over 3000 hits a
day, but that seems impossible, and 700 pages? What
does that mean?
Any ideas on where i could park syncro.org with lots of
space and low cost?
Thanks
steve
