Maybe a lot of you have noticed that my site looks like a town fiesta with all the photobucket banderitas showing everywhere. Its all because my account on my image host – Photobucket is experiencing Black Friday or heavy traffic. They reported that I’ve reached the the maximum for my monthly alloted bandwidth. I guessed my photos are too popular to go beyond the 25GB mark in just one month, whaddya think?
From Photobucket FAQ:
25GB is hundreds of thousands of images viewed via direct links
And yet I only have 617 photos with them???
Photobucket:
Bandwidth is not a measure of how many images are in your album. Rather, it is a measure of how many times the images in your album are being viewed from locations on the Internet where you have posted links to your media.
So I guess my photos are really that famous! haha! My problem now is they will reset the bandwidth on February 24, which I think is way too looooong!
Photobucket Email:
“You have exceeded the 25 GB monthly bandwidth limit on your free
Photobucket account. As such, your image and video links have been
temporarily disabled. Your images and videos have not been deleted but
will be reactivated on the 24th of the month, when your bandwidth
usage resets to zero.”
One option for me is to get a Photobucket Pro account:
Photobucket:
With a Photobucket Pro account you get unmetered monthly bandwidth, 10 GB of storage, removal of advertisements for this account, and premium support. Pro accounts are only $39.95 for a full year — just a drop in the bucket!
Whoa! Very untimely since I’ve got no moolah huhuhu. If only someone out there who love my photos sponsor/s my hosting on Photobucket. I would be very grateful!
For the meantime, Please bear with websaytko.com as I promised to deliver the package in no time., lol
