# Good afternoon all
I was wondering if anyone had any extra web space? I have a new flash animation.. my first.. and I wanted to get it into the newsletter...

www.ukdragon.com/b3ta/otter_punk.html

I don't think Keiran would appreciate hosting a newsletter flash.

ANYONE? Bueller???

# tis super small...
1.2 MB

The problem is the bandwidth.. if it actually APPEARS in the newsletter...

# unlimited bandwidth doesn't exist
anything that claims to have unlimited bandwidth will have an abuse policy especially for high bandwidth spikes

i wouldn't reccomend it

# I've talked
to their support people, it'd have to get really high for it to bother them as most of their clients on that package only use about 2gb

anyways here it is, thisistom.co.uk/otterpunks/

for however long

# yes, the newsletter + 1.2Mb animation = FUCKING HIGH BANDWIDTH
but bigger

30-40Gb in a couple of days would be easily possible i'd have thought. Remember that 100,000 people plus view the newsletter each week. i would place a small amount of money on you gettijng done for abuse

# ok, no problem here
Our Value Host and Value Host PRO accounts do not allow the hosting of .exe, .cmd, .bat, .mov, .avi, .mp3, .mpeg, .mpg, .wav, .rm, .ram, .rmx, .asf, .wmf, .wmp, and .wma files. We also don't allow the following if over 1mb in size: rar, .ace, .lzh, .zip, and .arj. If you want to host any of these file types you will need to purchase a Premier Host or Mid Host package.

I'll check the bandwidth then

# Yeah that would be best
it's no fun having your website deleted because their 'unlimited' bandwidth claim was just marketing.

# oh
and the only thing in their abuse policy is that I'm not allowed zips, mp3s and downloady things. Although I dont think they enforce that unless you use up too much bandwidhth

# believe me here
there really is no such thing on a host as unlimited bandwidth and i suspect your hosting package is not an especially expensive one therefore you will have low bandwidth limits

# There is no such thing as unlimited bandwidth
I found that out when more than one host who has said that they could cope with my site decided that it was abuse of their system. Another said that there was no way I could be using 150GB a month without hosting porn so turned my site off. Bastards.

This month I'm likely to use around 300GB and now I have to buy my own server!

# Sorry
I have none.

But thanks for the personal message, very touching.

Cockmunch - I've posted a message.

I promised never to do that in my bid to become the ultimate lurker. I wonder if I'll leave now?

# that's extremely woosome!
Wish I could help, but I've still a material drain on my bandwidth from when I was in the newsletter from 4 WEEKS AGO!
Hope I see it in the NL. Definitely worthy.
