Possible future bandwidth issues!

Red Squirrel · Post by **Red Squirrel** » Tue Sep 09, 2003 9:38 pm

We already used up almost 1GB of bandwidth this month and we only have 10GB per month.

It's very great that we are growing and being known much more but it may come to a point where I'll have to pay for more bandwidth! We still have a lot of room for more popularity mind you, I assume we might use about 2 to 3GB this month, and the suddent high move is probably also because of all the php work I've been doing (all the uploading of files over and over) so we are ok for at least a few years I'm sure.

But it's just incredible how fast we are getting more popular. I've been checking stats lately and it's just booming with links from various big tech sites such as http://www.warp2search.net which is why my last few articles got 100's of hits in days. My hard drive one got 1000+ hits so far, my dynamic sig one is in the 100's already!

We are doing pretty well, and those such as bbt who try to mock us and put us down are complete fools to say the things they have been saying about us!

That said, I was looking at pricing on dedicated servers... and I could never afford that, I'd need to quit school and get a real job!

But with a dedicated server, I can also do hosting and charge others, so that's what's good about it, the hosting could pay it off, sort of. This server has somewhat a few hundred sites on it so I assume I could put like 20 and it would easly pay itself off + make profit.

But I can assure you I will do everything I can to keep us going for ever no matter what our server needs are! Also, if I can get around the 15GB limit my isp has on business DSL, I'd be able to get my own circuit and host it myself. This would be by far the best possible solution. Also, I could do dedicated hosting if I got, say a DS3, and that would bring big bucks as well as good service for Canadians on hosting. There's not many known data centres in Canada. I can name more in the US than in Canada lol. Hericane Electric is one (the one that hosts this server).

Let's keep up the good work, keep on posting, and keep telling friends about this forum!

And I'll take care of the hosting.

That's true, here problems get solved faster than forums that have like 100's of members lol. Some forums will ban people for asking a "stupid" question.

Yes, we do love our Red Squirrel! (Although that purple one is getting on my nerves!

)

This is a sign that Iceteks is growing. I think your hard work on the site is paying off, Red.

Thanks! *disregards evil thread at bbt even more than before*

I love you guys too! Without you guys this place would not be as far as it is now since I would have just stopped working on it if no one would be here as I would of got discouraged. Sort of like PC411 where I got super excited over 1 post per day but figured it would never get any better - but it did!

It's incredible how this place is growing. It's very nice to see. Just to think that a few years ago I was writting 100-line programs and got excited over seeing it on google.

I was going through some old CDs and found some traces of some of my first websites for Reliexec. I want to find the ones on "Ryansoftware" which is even older, but I think those are long gone and I had never saved them. I'm planing to make a "reliexec history" page later on that will sort of go through the history of Reliexec and how it brought us here, it should be interesting. I might even do it in flash.
