Has anyone any info on how much bandwidth per every 50 users on the forum I have 26 users on my forum at the moment (LIve since tuesday) and ive used over 150 megs in 2 days which is rather worrying Will disabling the avatars reduce bandwidth? I think it will but im just confirming it cheers everybody

You can not determine for sure by the amount of users, you could have 2,000 members but they only use the forum once a year, whereas you could have 100 members but they constently use the forum. Turning off avatars would reduce bandwidth as there would be less images to download, also reducing the number of topics and posts shown on each page. Turn off any image or file uploading you have also enabled in forums. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

That wouldn't make any difference at all as it is the amount of data transferred from the processed ASP page to the web browser, not the data passed from the db to the ASP file. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

How would you go about having the db in a separate webspace? Is it even possible? I'm very interested to know this because then I could have the db at one hosted webspace all the time, and keep the asp pages at a different webspace that offers unlimited bandwith (but no domain name). That way the bandwith at the db webspace (the one holding my domain name) will be spared. ------------- evolution is a vehicle. drive responsibly |

You won't spare your bandwidth by placing the database on a different server, when passing data locally it's not included, by placing it on another web space it will be clased as bandwidth by sending out data across the web. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

I run a fairly busy website and recently added the forum (SQL) version which now has 1070 or so members and around 20 posts a day. I'm currently peaking at 30GB/month bandwidth, though that's probably mostly the website that contributes to that. Simon

It is very difficult to link to an MS Access database on a another server. You need to set up special accounts and permissions which you are rarely able to do with a shared hosting provider. Cheers, ------------- There have been many, many posts made throughout the world... This was one of them. |
