I gots me lots of storage space in my Bandwidth! I suggest googling the definition of Bandwidth vs. allocated storage space. Oh, and can you get a little deeper into explaining how I can "monetize" my website? Do you mean that I should post pictures of 19th century impressionistic art on it or that I should throw dollar bills at it?
