    Is decent hosting affordable these days for a low level affiliate?

    I want to put some galleries up with streaming video, of course galleries burn through a LOT of bandwidth and do pretty much fuck all in sales relative to the amount of traffic and transfer, so I was wondering if it's possible to get something cheap that's a little better than shared.... like, say, colo or some shit like that?

        yes, depends really how much, you can pickup a linode vps for $20 a month which is pretty cheap.

        or even grab a box from fdcservers for 9$ a month.

        linode is higher quality though

          I tried Godaddy for one blog network and I broke it pretty quick, so don't do that...

                Either too much traffic or too many blogs. They never told me exactly what the problem was, though, and I did email support and called them.

                Might have been a blog that I made after smoking, which had about 50,000 posts...

                    You're better off with a cheap unmanaged server if you can do it.

                    But yes the profit margin is decreasing for being a paysite affiliate. I mentioned this here a couple days back and someone replied that you still make three times your costs. Yeah, but it used to be a 100 times plus you have to account for your time and risk. It's the price of dealing with free. I notice more free sites are resorting to popunders which is usually a sign of having a tough time monetizing otherwise.

                    You don't like my posts? Put me on ignore or fuck right off. I'll say what I want.

                          We would be happy to set you up at XenLayer.com - for $8.95/month you can get 1000 GB of monthly transfer, on an Apache or Nginx Debian server, with a control panel and root access. Full management comes with that, which includes tweaking your server and optimizing it for streaming video.

                                  I've listed galleries on the hun many times with godaddy shared hosting... with a huge amount of content on them.. I never had a problem, but once they did make me stop using the server for backing up my HD ..... hahahaha

                                  Mr. Andrew - how long have you been in business? Sounds nice

                                        It's often a tossup between price and quality. Will paying twice as much the average for hosting net you twice as much profit? Doubtful. But will paying 10% less for slightly below average quality hosting decrease your revenue by the same amount, or more?

                                          i'm using ramnode (one of their bigger plans), they do a GREAT job so far. Great price/quality ratio, and Nick (the owner) is a real cool guy who knows what he's talking about...

                                          Unmanaged only, so you do have to know how to properly setup a server...
