If I setup a sub-domain as a redirectal to another site is it using up any of my bandwidth or anything?
The same applies to redirecting pages to other sites?

I do that and have had about 40 or so visits and its created about .03MB of bandwidth so far....so its not bad at all. DotComster 07-16-2002, 09:58 PM You can set up most stats scripts to get stats for sub domains, to check out the bandwidth. Analog might be best here. Most likely it will be the same ie no changes. Redirections are a bit trickier - but I think WebaLizer does it automaticaly - by counting entery pages. It works great with redirected domains. seg fault 07-16-2002, 11:55 PM Each hit would be about 15kbytes of data Studio64 07-17-2002, 12:59 AM Well... The simplest way (aside from doing a .htaccess way) would be. <html> <script> document.href="http://newsite.com"; </script> </html> So... That'd be 78 bytes.... So if your site had 10,000 hits a day for 30 days.... 23,400,000 bytes... 23 megs for 30,000 hits.... Not that bad. akashik 07-17-2002, 01:05 AM Originally posted by Axel Teflon If I setup a sub-domain as a redirectal to another site is it using up any of my bandwidth or anything? The same applies to redirecting pages to other sites? Your only bandwidth use if the connection. The browser coins the server, the server sends the redirect information, then the users browser goes to the site in question. From there all transfer is courtesy of the redirected server. It's a minimal amount Greg Moore Phrozen 07-17-2002, 01:09 AM Originally posted by Studio64 Well... The simplest way (aside from doing a .htaccess way) would be. Actually, the simplest way other than .htaccess would be: <?php header("Location: http://newsite.com") ; ?>Not that a few bytes would really make much of a difference though... |
