Revaluation of this hosting thingy...

Post by Gottaname » Tue Oct 22, 2002 1:02 am

I've dropped the idea of having it hosted on a personal server so I'm getting a US reseller's account. The account will go as follows:

$0 Setup Fee, USD$72 per year or USD$5 a month you get:

1GB Disk Space
4GB Monthly Bandwidth
DS-3/OC3 leased line Connection
FTP access
E-mail
Full access to SSI, SQL, PHP, PERL and CGI bin.
And other features such as Frontpage extensions and Real Audio and Video.

I'm sure this is more than enough for most AMV ppl, the free account will be less and of course limited to certain ppl but will go as follows:

200MB Disk Space
800MB Monthly Bandwidth
DS-3/OC3 leased line Connection
FTP access
Full access to SSI, SQL, PHP, PERL and CGI bin.
And other features such as Frontpage extensions and Real Audio and Video.
Presently eligible ppl are Sierra Lorna, Vlad G Phonert, CArnesen, Vegeta for President, Pie Row Maniac, Satori and nailz 1000. I was using the previous threads and I believe these ppl are geniunely in need of this space, 'cause if you can complain about it, then you don't need it.

4 Gig??!!!

Is that all???

I do that in a less than a day on the release day of new videos. SRV does about 15 gig a month now, even months after its initial release.

I can support that, but you've got to pay more... that SRV is popular right I hope.

USD$17 per month which is USD$204

5GB Disk Space
20GB Monthly Bandwidth
All of the features of the accounts

Yeah, sorry - didnt mean to knock the service ^^;;

I'd personally be looking for a 60gig bandwidth host at least, but I'm sure your service would be useful to creators with less bandwidth than me ^_^;;

Well, for someone like me who is just starting out in the AMV world something like that sounds really good.

One thing though, if you pay $5 a month that comes out to a total of $60 per year, which would be less than what you charge per year :? So I'm thinking there must be a catch :) or not. But I am curious as to why you have it totaled that way.

P.S. I would be very interested in this once you get it up and running, for I am pretty much hostless right now, unless you include my p.o.s. geocites account with 15 MB of storage space :(

I only have a few videos, and I think I would go though 4 gig pretty fast.

Just devide how much bandwith by the size of your video. If it's 50 mbs, then that means it can be downloaded 80 times. In a month. Thats like less than 3 times a day.

However, look at it this way, that 960 people that get a copy of your video a year...

...Err, this is big talk from someone who is hosting it on his computer huh?
