Offloading Images

[PureTalkForum]

Hello all.

I've spent my morning optimizing my vBulletin installation and an idea came to my head, so I'd like to run it by the community here and see if: A. It's a practical idea. B. How do I do it? Okay, allow me to get straight to the point!

I'd like to offload as many images from my server as possible. For example, let's say I'd like to upload them to a different server or even to a file hosting website, then visitors would download the images from there rather than the same server as my vBulletin installation - is this possible? If so, how? Most importantly, if I was to do this, would there be any repercussions? Assuming they're on a stable server that will allow me to host them there, it won't have any negative impact on the viewer, right?

Any and all help is greatly appreciated! Thank you.
