I got a serious slap in the face today, the bandwidth overages cost me nearly $150.. we have funds in reserve, but this takes a big bite out of them.
Assistance required! :) Thanks y'all.
Have you considered moving all of the static images in vB, and the user images over to Amazon S3?
I did that for two client sites and it cut the bandwidth by over half--and opened up a shitload of space on the server drive.
The problem is constant DDoS. Legit traffic is minimal.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
Damn, I did not see this thread until today. I don't know how I missed it. I was late with my quarterly donation, so I will send another one to help get some funds in reserve. I actually send more here than my local NPR station. It's worth every penny cuz I can post cuzz woids.
