Website down

[avevale_intelligencer]

Having removed all my mp3 files, I am stll 23Mb over Madasafish's 100Mb space limit, and all the other files are tiny, such that to remove enough would gut the site. I have taken everything down for the moment, and am looking for a new home.

One.com offer to transfer the domain for nine quid, and give me three Gb free for a year. What it would be after that I do not know. Is that good, or could I find better? What questions should I be asking? Does the world really need me to have webspace at all?

Well, leaving out the mp3s which were over a gig, I can't make it any more than 60 Mb. So I don't know what was going on there.

That's still a huge amount of space for a web site. Are there some particularly large files there?

As for the difference, I can only guess. The site seems to be down now so there may be no way to check, unless you can still FTP in and look around?

Could be log files, some big files you uploaded and forgot about, some kind of hack, a mistake by their sizing program, ... ???

Someone on cix has just had an account suspended for exceeding the space limit, and on investigation "Turns out a pornsite has used his space for storing gigabytesworth of porn."
