I have really bad news. Below you will find a copy of a letter that I recieved from my host. I will let you know right now that I am moving the domain to another host. Their actions are unexcusable and will not be tollerated by me in any way. The fact that I have two domains should mean something and they shouldn't have to make me move half the archive to the other domain. If this is what they want to do, then by all means, they can do that. However, I do not have to keep paying them $10 more a month for less service then I would get at another host. I had been staying with them, paying an additional $10 per domain then another host I found that was better, merely because up till now, they had been very helpful and understanding. Now this. It may not seem much to some, but having to transfer over 100 megs of images from one domain to the other when I pay for both sites, is totally out of the question. Therefore, I have contacted the other host about moving the domain. They have unlimited storage and unlimited traffic. Regardless of all this..... I have to close the Photo Gallery in order to keep the rest of the site open. SORRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi April,
please switch your images over to your ambermyst site.
We can not raise your traffic limit, without to bill you for the excess traffic.
To be exact we have a traffic policy in place. And in general, sites with image archives are limited to 3 Gigs of free traffic (instead of 6).
This is because traffic costs money. A lot of money.
And accounts with 6 Gigs of traffic are not profitable.
We can only offer this, because some clients are using less and others more.
I hope you understand. But feel free to use your 6 GB of free traffic. Even with your image archive.
However the account watching script will automatically block web access for sites with over 6 GB, if not paid by the client.
Best Regards,
SpunkyWorld Internet Services - Billing

I have two domains with you. Ambermyst.com and Farscape.com.
Under Ambermyst it says:
So far for Oct 1 to Oct 16 a total of 82 megs has been transferred with a projection of 153 megs. space used: 67.911 megs
Under Farscape it says:
So far for Oct 1 to Oct 16 a total of 4655 megs has been transferred with a projection of 8728 megs. space used: 255.971 megs
Since the traffic and such are so low with the Ambermyst site, couldn't you take that into consideration when judging the Farscape site? I mean, as long as I am not exceeding the max amount on both? Otherwise, I will have to move some of the images over to the Ambermyst site to compensate, when either way I am still using your hosting. And I would so much prefer to keep the Farscape images on the Farscape Zone site.

Does the traffic have to do with my uploading things to the site? Or just
I don't think so, because this should be marginal. Unless you upload your complete hard drive. But you have only 250 MB web space anyway. Therefore it isn't possible :)
however this is included in the traffic amount.
other people there checking things out? I have been doing a lot of
yes.
Do you know that you can see your web stats here:
http://www.farscapezone.com/wusage/
uploading to the site with new images. And seeing that I have the largest
photo archive of Farscape, I get a lot of traffic in that department. What
would it take to upgrade? What would it cost?
excess traffic is billed at $25 each GB
If you want us to raise your traffic limit, please let us know.
