Bandwidth saving tips:

No MP3s

No Videos

Reduce image quality a bit and use JPEG or PNG

MP3s and Video files are massive bandwidth hogs - so are high-resolution, high-quality pictures.

 

As you've stated yourself, it is a good idea to host your pictures elsewhere and provide thumbnails on your page here. That will surely save you a hell lot of bandwidth. :lol:

its perfectly possible to use geocities for image hosting and hotlink, but if you read the terms of service they can quite reasonably delete your account. fair enough i say if they get not return for their service. i was doing that for a while but now ive got Xisto it's fine. also if using a service like geocities the bandwidth on your geocities accound will be absolutly rubbish and if you have lots of images that might be a problemseems odd though that geocities cant be bothered to stop it, on my cpanel it takes only a second to set blocking up.
