of people giggling at me.. I need to ask a couple of newbie-ish questions..

First, if I link a stream to Youtube or iFrame an external URL within one of my pages, is the feed from Youtube or yadda-yadda.com eating into my bandwidth here on CSNM?

I am just confused about the issue of where am I actually 'serving' the files from when I do this and which piper I am paying etc..

The other question is probably going to be in the wrong section but, I have a couple of Domains I wish to register but have no plans to publish anything on them just yet. Can I register them through CSNM and just leave them parked here?

The bandwidth used would only be the files on CSMN's server that are sent to the user- for example, if you have a 3k page that has an iframe containing youtube's site, you'd only use up 3k of bandwidth each time the page is viewed. Hope that makes sense!

You can register domains without publishing anything on them, if you register then add them to helm I believe CSNM even has a nice holding page!

Hope this helps!

p.s. welcome to the forums!

It makes sense to me and it is also the answer I was hoping for.

Thanks for the reply and thanks for the welcome!:thumbup1:
