Got a warning from the host today that our site exceeded the fair use policy in terms of bandwidth usage, at around 4822 MB. I dug a bit deeper, and by far the biggest bandwidth consumer (with over 4 GB) are .JPG images, probably those from the frontpage.
So, I'd like some suggestions for external hoasting of images, to reduce bandwidth usage. Preferably with either a very high or an unlimited amount of storage.
I'm not sure if the frontpage system allows using a gallery with external images, so that feature might have to go overboard.
The alternative is to find a host that offers more bandwidth, right now I'd say 20 GB or more, but that would cost additional moolah. Removing the .JPG images would reduce bandwidth usage with 4/5ths though, so I'd say we go for that one first (since this host is cheap, which is a good thing).
