Website hosting - basics and bandwidth questions

Jonny69 · 28-01-2008, 11:29

I've exceeded my bandwidth quota on jonny69.co.uk again so it's time to do something about it. I'm a complete noob on stuff like this so I've got some really basic questions.

The domain name and hosting are both with 123-reg.co.uk at the moment and I think I'll be wanting to move from them to a host that allows more bandwidth. 123-reg are fine for starter packages but they get expensive when you need traffic and I am going to need about 6Gb or more per month because of hosting images on various forums. Any recommendations? Alternatively are there any online file hosters like dropfile.net that allow ftp access from FireFTP etc?

I've still got a year subscription with the domain name at 123-reg, how do you point a domain at a seperate web host?
