Hello,
You need to upgrade to a bigger plan with more bandwith then. How much bandwith do you have currently?

22000 in current month! I can't believe it,something is wrong.
Well i can tell u this.. Something is wrong with that server/host. Because they tried to tell me that i used 9.5 kg in 15 days, and i know i dont use that much i use about 10-12 in a months times. I would switch hosts if u can.. Something is really wrong with that host..
Images take up the most bandwith and if you have a banner or two and some members send the referral url to a couple of auto surfs you can burn some BW pretty fast.

That quick? In 5 days?If I have the problem that bad,then what aboout those sites that have 10,000+ members?
OK,someone is doing something to me.
It happened over night so I guess someone is using software to create the traffic for me and that's why I got banned.

22,000 MB is not alot of traffic for a PTR site. You should get at least 35 GB(which is about 35000 MB) of transfer a month.

Never had pre-launch.
I have a cheap hosting package for my personal homepage with unlimited bandwith. I host all my images there, and this way, i can stay down at 11-13gb/month with 3 million pageviews a month.. Thats an easy way to save a lot of money

A small lesson to be learned here Always buy unlimited bandwidth if you can not afford it then you should not be thinking about opening a site

i dont agree about this.. the unlimited hosting package i use is only for my images and for my personal homepage. It is not good quality at all. The mailservers are always down, the software is old, and the support is poor, but the speed and uptime is acceptable. This hosting costs around 3$ a month
I host the rest of my site (script, etc) with createyourgetpaid.com's hosting. It costs $ 22.50 a month, i have a limit on 35gb per month and a disc space limit of 500mb. This is extremely good quality, very fast, never down, and it supports everything i need for my website. unlike the cheap unlimited one. When i first started my program, i tried to install the script on the cheap host, but it was impossible, because i only was allowed to use one databsse, there was no cpanel, and it didnt support any of the encryption programs that cygp needs to run.
Besides from that, cheap unlimited hosts always promise more than they can keep. If you pay for a limited package, you get what you pay for.

never expect good quality for "unlimited" bandwidth.
it is always correct you get what you paid for

Unlimited plans are good when you can get support for them. Most hosts will offer you this, with very little support or none at all. That's been my experience with unlimited plans.
The PTR's we have hosted hardly every hit our bw limit, of 65 GB. Some come close, but never actually go over it. Its better to have a limited plan really. We always like to recommend 45 GB or more for PTR sites. You have to count for the explosion of visitors not only during launch, but during ref contests, promotions, etc.
