i'd say post it in the development forum.
and about the hosting, if you can host it somewhere that would be better, as it'll be easier for your to make changes.

I thought of it like this: do the first generation for an image, the first time it is requested. Then rereder only if the next request is at least 24h later, otherwise send the prerendered one. That way the load would spread, as it is very unlikely that all users will request an image at the same time.

EXP, Is there a way to possible make it so that it gives a message when the database is being updated? (Just to make sure the script dosnt want to update when the site is being updated)
