With or Without Image in Post ?

As you have seen that i rarely use image to describe something on my blog, actually there’s a reason for this. Because i'm still using shared host, it’d be troublesome if there’s problem on my account. Let’s say, my hosting account got suspended because i was using to much resources and caused major slowdown on another site hosted on my account. Then there’s high chance i’ll get suspended.
Also as most of you already knew, that suspended account can be really troublesome, because you can't access your site nor your ftp account .. also you dont know how long they’ll suspend your account.
What about using free image hosting such as Photobucket or Imageshack ? Well i’ve thought you will ask that question :P .. but using free image hosting isn't reliable because :
- There’s risk of using to much bandwidth from them especially for blog that got lots of visitors daily and in the end you’ll have to get premium account at them
- You’re using remote image, and if their server was slow, it’ll make your site slow too because your site is fetching image from them
- The most important thing is … Im to lazy to upload image, although some said images worth thousand words, but if it's for me .. images worth thousand bucks to my internet provider .. because i only have 2GB monthly bandwidth (how many times do i have to say this ? )
And what about switching internet provider ? and find another cheap internet provider .. well if there’s other internet provider near that has access to my area, i’ll choose them instead.
Actually the main problem if i were using images is im wasting my monthly bandwidth quota, and so that’s why i'm not using images on my post.
