EDIT from 18 Dec 16:50 CET
I locked the site to start the maintenance to move to the new account type.
First I'll do a backup of the site.
Whole process may take few hours. In the worse case it would take 24h I think.
17:30
I started the switch to the new account
18:06
Finished... it was faster than expected...

old message:
I have to renew the hosting for 1 year before 27 december.
Rather than doing that, I'll rather switch to another account type, still from the same provider (OVH).
Like last time (few days ago) I'll have to lock the site for at least one or two days I think, just to prevent any data loss.
By locking the site, I mean that it won't be possible to add/edit vehicles or even make comments, just view the contents (with a possible downtime of few hours when the switching actually happens).
I'll do that when I'll have few free time, on 18 December or in the next days.
After that, we'll have between 100 and 250 GB of disk space, depending on which account type I chose (instead of 20 currently, half of it is used).
So I plan to host directly on imcdb all the pictures posted in comments, doing an imageshack-like service (but only for imcdb, of course).
The only thing which afraid me of doing that is that a large part of the pictures won't be related to the site's subject, cars; e.g. http://www.imcdb.org/movie.php?id=58335#Comment651742
Anyway, that would be for the next year.
