.Need a Frontpage replacement for feedback forms

D

Dee

Hi,

I have a website that I constructed about a week ago and the website has
been far more popular then I expected about 800 visits in 1 week.

According to my Stats I've used up over 450MB of bandwidth already and only
allowed 750mb per month.

I've gone back and recompressed by JPEG pictures to make them smaller in
file size from anaverage compression of 15% to 50%.

But I don't think this will be enough. So I've copied the site to the free
webspace that comes with my ADSL ISP Account and FTPed a copy across and
want to put a redirect to that page. However everything in the site will
work as inthe original BUT the Feedback forms and Ihave about 8 of them (all
exactly the same just on different pages)

Can I either use a replacement for the frontpage feedback form that will
work on a non Frontpage server (as is the case with my ISP) or include the
feedback part of the form within any of the 8 pages that use it but have it
reference the original site?

Ideally I'd like to replace these multiple copies f the forms anyway, and
perhaps stick them in a database or something, but right now my priority is
to get the bandwidth down.

Hi,

Consider changing the location of your web site to one that has unlimited or
higher limits.

You can reference the pages with the forms on the other web site and they
will function but it will be a nightmare to maintain.

Hosting with high or unlimited bandwidth is pretty cheap. It sounds like you
are going to a lot of trouble - not to mention compromising the quality of
your images - to save a few bucks. Plus, who's to say your bandwidth usage
won't continue to grow beyond the limit?

Look at iPowerWeb for your sourcing. 800 Meg of web space, 40 Gig / Month
Bandwidth.
