I'm thinking about just converting everything to txt files. txt files seem more reliable, then a database.


I don't know, I don't want to kill your bandwidth.
Ouch. I don't know if txt is a good idea, but I suppose we will see!

Phil, is this a dedicated server, or just an account? What type of connection are you running?

Calvin, what type of bandwidth are we talking about? The buttons aren't that large of files, and I couldn't imagine that it would use more than a gig of bandwidth on normal use.

If Phil has a dedicated server available to donate, go with that, but if you still are looking, I have a reseller account from surpasshosting.com which runs my team site. Its a reseller account though so its intended to run multiple domains and the like. I could offer somewhere around 5 gigs of bandwidth and 500MB-1Gig of space (I would give more, but through the reseller control panel you set how much space each website is allocated. It doesn't let you use that space for anything else besides that account.)

Good luck
