Should I Get A Reseller Account?

[phatfunkjazz]

Hi, I have a standard (Silver Plan) hosting with TCH. I'm going to have a fair number of MP3 audio files promoting my own music on my web site. I'm not really concerned with the amount of bandwidth (the standard plan actually has more than the basic reseller plan). But I don't want potential traffic to overload the server's hardware or memory.

 

Do audio files place an excessive usage on the servers? Are reseller servers better equipped to handle heavier loads because there are less clients on them? I respect my fellow TCH family members and would feel bad if my site caused overloads.

 

All said, I seriously doubt my web site will draw that many hits (aside from my dear old mom and curious friends), but I should know the facts before issues arise.

 

thanks,

Stefan

They can.

No, they can have as many or more clients on them, smaller accounts though.
