Erm, huh?
From Yahoo:

>>

128 Kbs / 40 GB per mo. FREE!
This option is great for hosting a single, light traffic web site.

<<

Ok is it just me or are they taking the **** saying 40GB/month is "light traffic" ?

40gig is light traffic. Hell, it could even be classified as meidum traffic.

I'm running 20 domains, each averaging a 10,000 hits a month with downloadable PDF and Flash movies and I don't even use 1 gig of bandwidth!

Really? I have 5 sites, and one of them uses 5-8Gb bandwidth per month (at least according to CPanel 4, which i have been told is not really that reliable now...lol). I let people download free website templates, of which each template ZIP is about 40-100kb. I get about 75-80k per month hits to that site, so unless they call light traffic "A site that gets 500,000 hits a month and is graphics intense", i think they got something wrong Tongue
