I'm no good at this internet shit, and need some advice
Bandwidth have gone through the roof, hits double up weekly. The shared server I have now can't keep it up anymore. I tried to tame it with password but I got so many mails from people complaining about missing their images, it nearly killed my old iMac I use for mail only.
So, either I'm gonna sell it off and make a quick buck (again) or put some effort into it and get some decent dedicated hosting for it. (anyone have a hosting suggestion?) Also if I go this way I would have to redo the coding etc. so it don't get hacked by kurdish terrorist every damn week.. But I'm no good at coding anything.
Can't make up my mind..
Hielfe!

I don't know v5, no idea what website like this go for. I was thinking of auction it off at Sitepoint.

dude, screw the punks that lost their pics, it is a free hosting after all right?
Just make sure you keep the PSB pics

idea
keep it and implement advertising
direct links to images on your server would have the image and above it would be an ad, i saw this somewhere the other day and prob wouldn't be too difficult to implement
with all your traffic stats, getting advertisers to pay your bills and pad your pocket wouldn't be too hard

follow the v5's nose.... it smells true...

find an investor
you dont want ads when its going small
give up 50 percent of control and keep it growing

ads by google??

well you only have 4 sites linking in and a gpr of 3 with an Alexa Ranking 458,391 so it aint that pretty for investors but if you're looking to unload it you could do worse than donate it to the designer forum - http://thedesignerforum.com

google ad don't give back shit. I like it clean and simple like it is now, but with a $200/month hosting bill in the horizon it might not stay like that.

i didn't mean google
alexa, not the most accurate
- e-pill0
so does imgdumb still only work on nt? is this where all the traffik is from?
- ********0
ranking don't mean a thing, specially no alexa, the hits and domain is where the money is hidden.
I might have some guys at work that could swing a good script stick and find some cheap semi good hosting instead of the shit I have now

it work anywhere again edd-e, had to put a password damper on it for a while so it didn't go over my 2TB/month limit.
- e-pill0
