Ok, I have tried to contact my host but they won't answer me. Basically somehow yesterday my site used up 6gigs of bandwith on one day. If i just entered the front page of my site i would lose 15 megs just like that. Does anyone know what could have possibly caused this? I have know idea on how i could use up so much bandwith so fast. I usually use 1.5 gigs in one month. And i only had 100 visitors to my site yesterday. Pleese, if you know of a reason this could have happened let me know. Thanks

Unless you have some major-resource-devouring scripts being accessed, it probably is a malfunctioning server bandwith monitor problem.

Well, i know i don't have any scripts that would cause this so it must be the server malfunctioning. But my hosts site is still running and there isn't anything on the site saying they are having problems. I just hope whatever it is it gets solved soon.

I found out what it was. I had about 10 videos on my site ranging from 9 meg to 35 megs for download. I think while my site is getting more popular all the time more and more people started to download the videos. I removed the videos and it solved the bandwith problem. :D It sucks i can't have my videos though. :(

just get yourself some free space to hold your videos with links from you main site and problem solved.

www.geocities.com is good for stuff like that. unlimited bandwidth.
(15Mb per site, so you can't host your big ones, but can make a website like www.geocities.com/YourNameVid1 then www.geocities.com/YourNameVid2 ect.)
