Hehe  ;)

Anyway, as the other guys have said, unlimited storage space is handy, but bandwidth is the real killer. This website used up 12 GB of bandwidth last month, of which 90% was due to this forum (the AGS program download is no longer hosted on this account to save bandwidth).

Host my completely un-adventure related teen website.

Yes, we love seeing nude pictures of mods' ex-girlfriends  :P

Not to boast (if you view this as a good thing), but my site eviltrailmix.com ate up almost 140 GB of bandwidth in April.

The site that I can't ever get to work for me, you bastard....

MS: Why don't you try and set up your own web hosting thing?

Blimey, I dread to think how much it costs to run that!

I'm not sure how much the normal package costed, but every GB I go over 100 costs some ungodly amount. 5 dollars or something. I feel too guilty to ask my dad about it...  :-[

My old homepage had approx 8 gigs of bandwidth every month... I couldn't even imagine, how much could 140 gigs cost...

And thus, the primary advantage of hosting your own.  I could grab some of my extra parts and construct a P350 with 64 Megs of SDRAM with a 64M video card and 8 gigs of HD space (all of which would be overkill), purchase another wi-fi card and run one from home with a net cost to me of about 30 bucks.  The problem is that either no one would visit and I'd be wasting my time or too many people would come and steal bandwidth away from my female anatomy research.  ;)  

Edit: Oh yeah, also the cost of domain registration assuming I wanted a nice personalized domain.
