Hello.

I have a website on shared hosting (linux), since I uploaded a flash game, hosting company started to complain there is too many apache connections. My guessing is while my site did't have the flash game/s traffic wasn't a problem for them. Unfortunatelly can't afford a VPS for that site.
Is there a way to host externally the flash game or any other workaround to avoid killing shared server and keep my site online (because they will cancel my account soon if I don't fix it)

Monetize the game (or the site) to pay for more appropriate hosting.
-or-
Find some other place to host the game file, and link to it there.

If you care about your existing site, I'd suggest you take the game down until you decide what to do.

I think a free swf files hosting that allows hotlinking would be the solution. But this far I know image hosting allowing hotlinking (not swf) or swf files hosting now allowing hotlinking. Grrr...
