Kolobos Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Hi Guys, I am not techy minded in the slightest so please bear with... I maybe on the hunt for an alternative to Invisions servers as I have just run out of storage space and the next decent Invision package is going to double my costs. This is what I have at the moment:- 1800MB diskspace 100GB bandwidth Unlimited e-mail accounts Unlimited FTP accounts 10 MySQL databases and this is their alternative that would suffice for the next twelve months:- 3500Mb Storage Space 175Gb Data Transfer At present I am using over 2100mb of storage, have in excess of 4500 members, that have contributed 400'000 posts and nearly 27'000 images in 18 months. Is there anyway I can bulk resize the images to free up some MB and for that matter being able to auto compress/resize when a member uploads a pic? Or do you have any really good alternative server services to Invision, that may save me some money and not give me problems, as my members cannot bear a laggy forum! Hope I have made myself clear enough??? D'oh!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robulosity2 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 One thing that I often run is the Remove Orphaned attachment/Images (This usually kills 100MB/month on my site) as far as image resizing not overly sure of one off the top of my head =() Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but I did say I was a noob :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kolobos Posted May 19, 2009 Author Share Posted May 19, 2009 Found how to remove orphaned attachments though I get this error code Fatal error: Class 'class_upload' not found in /home/pattayal/public_html/sources/action_admin/rebuild.php on line 1724 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crafty55 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I'd reupload that file and try again, then again 1,800MB? Wow small lol, thats 3x less then our sites upload size, hell one of our other sites since the 1.3 days has 6GB of uploaded images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
