I was told it would be better to post this here.

I purchased some webspace with a 10gig bandwidth limit and then I opene up my gaming site. Thing is, I never anticipated it's popularity, on the first day it got 3k 1st page views aand on the 2nd day (today) it's had even more. I've used 1.7 gigs of my bandwidth already in 2 days. I havn't even uploaded many files yet, I have about 50 things waiting to be uploaded that have been sent to me.

What I need is a gaming network to host me, like telefragged (I've sent an application to them). The problem is, I don't really know if any gaming networks will accept 2 day old sites. The other aspects of my site are fine, it is well designed and has good content.

Any suggestions would be a great help, maybe a list of gaming networks that might accept me.

I don't want my site to be pulled down within a week of launch, especially because it has great potential.

thanks in advance

TeleFragged is a great host if you could deal with the general crap they make you do if your a Telenation site. Generally, the guys there are professional and I enjoyed my stay there. I'd recommend them.

There used to be a wide number of game networks to choose from, but now the number is quite small. That's why two of my sites are no longer alive (not enough Ad Revenue to pay for pay hosting, and no one would host it for free).

A few links...

http://www.xtreme-networks.com/

Any chance I could see a linky dink to your site? 3K in your first day is VERY good. =)

Thanks, I know what you mean about gaming networks dying, there used to be loads.

I know someone that uses telefragged, he says there good, but they can be slow to set things up that you need.

oh, bwvortex.net

I made sure I got linked on the biggest sites, and the visitors havn't stop coming. Amaizing out of all the 100 odd emails I've had they'vce all been good, usually I expect at least a few "you site sucks and I'll h4x0r you for ever" emails.

Well I semi work under someone who actually works in the Telefragged officies, so give me a URL and let me check out your site.

But dont expect much, the slow internet economy of CPM rates is really killing the company, so I really dunno if they are accepting sites right now.
