| Recommend a host With my new site coming up, it will have flash animations, forum and some other pages but my question is, how much bandwidth and space do you think i need for it? i know its a bit of tough question to answer and im not sure how much flash will be on it, but just a rough estimate please, it will help me to choose a hosting package. thanks.  | ||||

My understanding is flash does not take up that much bandwidth...I also believe the content is downloaded once and stored in a temp directory.

In fact I still use them for most of my smaller sites. I have a reseller account I use to create websites on then move them once traffic builds up a bit.

Join Date: Jun 2006 Posts: 21 | hi I changed several cheap hosts and I learned that its not all in space&bandwidth. I found www.danteswebhosting.com and im more than 8 months with them. Hey, the only downtime is when they restart server... 1 minute. Price is a bit high comparing to other hosting provides but my site is never down! | ||||
