In Reply to: Why is Bertie's site so slow? posted by Vern on October 09, 2000 at 06:41
As the webmaster for Bertie's, I'd like to take a shot at this based on what little I know about Sexhound, the hosting company. They set up the site video.sexhound.net and told all Sexhound webmasters that videos could ONLY be served from that site. What does this tell me? It tells me that they don't want the high bandwidth that video downloads generate to trash the performance of their straight HTML and pic servers. The site fetish.sexhound.net, where Bertie's World is located, is usually pretty snappy, so Sexhound is obviously managing their bandwidth and server capacity. I can't complain really. Sexhound is being very generous to even allow video downloads. Most sites deny them completely because of the extreme drain on resources.

Roger
