I'd say go for it.

However: on your site you say the bandwidth/webspace is going spare. How much of each do you have? Popular sites have a habit of becoming victims of their own success - i.e. costs go through the roof and an income stream has to be found - hence popups and ads. Can you deal with this?

All constructively intended.

Steve - good points. I've got approx. 900MB spare storage and 4.5 Gig/month spare transfer. Not sure what a reasonably useful/popular site would hit in terms of transfer. Any experienced webmaster types care to comment?

Thanks,

Tim

900Mb is more than enough .

4.5Gb/month is pretty significant, too. The busiest site on the fivetrees system is NetRhythms, and that's currently doing about 4Gb/month - but is pretty heavy on both text and graphics.

Summary: I think you have room to manoeuvre for a while.

Tsk. You need a proper host like....(tada!) fivetrees . However, capitalism *is* involved.

No problem. G'luck.
