Possible future bandwidth issues!
Posted: 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.
