    How much bandwidth should I be expecting to use?

    I see. It appears (on support dot cloudflare.com/entries/22309111-I-already-have-SSL-on-my-site-What-are-my-options-) that the free version can be configured if the SSL is on a subdomain?! (I know almost nothing about SSL's so sorry if I'm using the wrong language here). Is this easy to configure?

    How much bandwidth should I be expecting to use?

    Haha thanks for that one Paul! I've e-mailed our platform provider and asked them to sort this one, so hopefully that link will be a dead one soon! Cheers, Dan

    How much bandwidth should I be expecting to use?

    Excellent, thanks again for the great advice. Apparently hotlink protection is in place (according to Siteground - my domain provider), but I did read that if there are settings featured in the .htaccess file, they will override this protection. I'll contact our ecommerce platform provider (who...

    How much bandwidth should I be expecting to use?

    Ah I see! I've been web designing for years (almost exclusively front-end, however) but this is the first e-commerce website that I've maintained long-term, and with it being quite a busy one (as opposed to a new start-up) the learning curve has been steep. I'm going to go ahead and get...

    How much bandwidth should I be expecting to use?

    Thanks for the advice. As we can only see a small amount of our sites files (we have FTP a few layers down, and get no access to anything on the server outside of the folders we have access to), I used an online tool to see if compression is in place - It appears that it is (according to...

    How much bandwidth should I be expecting to use?

    Cloudflare looks very interesting. Is there any/much risk in putting one in place? Is it likely to affect my SEO? From a quick two-minute read about CDNs, it sounds like it'll do a lot to speed up page loads, and hopefully bandwidth, too! Could I just ask where/how you calculated this...

    How much bandwidth should I be expecting to use?

    I can't say I'm familiar with CDN's (but that's what Google's for, hey!), and unfortunately we're in the difficult position where the ecommerce platform is privately owned and so we must use their servers, and cannot move away to another server without changing platform. For this reason it might...

    How much bandwidth should I be expecting to use?

    Thanks for the heads up on that one. Because the products we sell are quite niche, it's likely that other sites are hotlinking our images, as we are more organised that most competitors when it comes to making sure products have images attached. I've just done a quick test and there is no...

    How much bandwidth should I be expecting to use?

    Myself and the company I work for have been using a private e-commerce platform for quite some time, and have recently had a number of issues regarding the bandwidth we use. We exceeded the 50GB bandwidth given to us by our host, and so were given 100GB (at a cost). We are now being told we...

    Unsure of which platform to choose

    Thanks for the response, the support issue is a key factor here, as our current system was rarely updated, and new functions were few and far between (and were usually extremely buggy or not fit for purpose). At first glance, I'm very impressed by Bluepark, and we had actually come across one...

    Unsure of which platform to choose

    Hi, and thanks for the reply. Sure, no problem. We are called Pinknoise Systems (google - as I cannot link you) and sell audio equipment, mostly to prosumers.

    Unsure of which platform to choose

    Hello everybody. I'm new to the forum, and am writing on behalf of the small, five person company that I work for. We're at a bit of a crossroads with our ecommerce website; We've been using a privately owned platform (Really Easy Cart) for the past year or so, but have been finding that it...
