FHG's - Host or not to Host?
 

I keep my bandwidth down by only using galleries hosted by the sites.

All/most sites offer the same gallery images as a zip d'load to make your own gallery pages.

What's the advantage(s) for making and hosting your own galleries?

TIA

You can customize the gallery to your traffic for one. It's also much better for SEO purposes because a TGP that only links to FHGs is essentially just a big banner farm.
