I have a friend who owns some websites, one is an info site and two are forums and he got a message from the host that it's getting too big in CPU usage and there is a problem that it could be shut down. He has been working very hard on these sites and has been paying for them out of his own pocket but he really can't afford to pay any more then he already is. Many people use his sites and it would be very disappointing if it was to go down.
He was told by the hosts that if they moved to a RootDS Server they would be able to keep the sites but the problem is that the cost would be much more.
I was just wondering if any of you had any solutions or any suggestions that would help out with the amount of usuage being used. People are already willing to donate some, but I don't think that will be enough.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Most hosts have web hosting packages based on two criteria. Storage space for files and so on and bandwidth usage.
There is no way around bandwidth usage if you provide access to everyone. The more people that use a site the greater the bandwidth, when your site exceeds its alloted bandwidth then it is usually shut down until the beginning of the next billing cycle.
The only way to increase you bandwidth allotment on a host site tis to purchase it from the host, which costs more money.
Sorry....
