Bandwidth usage

[Derek W]

I've recently started a website with a wordpress template and vidahost as the host. Now I've not uploaded much content onto the site (about 25mb through my ftp) but i have got a topic in the photography section here regarding my recent holiday. Now its had a few views (around 650) but noticed my bandwidth usage has shot up over the past few days with the uploading and link to my topic in here topping at over 1gb transfer yesterday alone . As a result I'm only 1.4gb off my monthly usage.

The question is what will happen when it goes over 5gb (monthly allowance) will the server just give up the ghost for the remainder of the month or will vidahost ask me if i want to up my bandwidth by however many gb extra?

If costs are an issue I'd look to host the images else where and keep the raw content on the site.

Costs not an issue I went with Vidahost and for the two years along with my site name I was under 30quid so I'm sure as mentioned above an upgrade to the next package will be what I'll probably do. I was trying to get away from a wap host (around 10euro a year) that i currently have as well but wasn't sure on what to go for so the one I have was the basic package.
