My galleries caused a server overload on computer of my host. I have a shared server and now my hosts demands that I get a dedicated server since they claim I have much too traffic for a shared account.
i'm in the same situation, i'm forced to move to dedicated server what means from 14$ / month to 175$ / month
i'm also disperate :(
Disable the random meta albums will help most. For details, post a link to your gallery.
And do not hijack threads made by others. Always start your own.
