Uhm, you redirect it so your server load is minimal and you actually make money from it.

Is your current server being overloaded now? Or are you just trying to plan for future growth? There are serveral options for adding servers your host should be able to tell what the options are, especially since they should already know what you have going on and what services are being ultized the most (mysql, etc).

Sandman is right.

Contact me on ICQ: 4930562 if you're interested in setting up 1 server with Reality Check Network. Since its all static images we'll be able to serve up to 1Gbit/sec from this server. With just 1 machine you wont have to worry about multi-server setups, we also have active monitoring so in case something does break we're on top of it within 1 minute.

Give it a thought and let me know if you'd be interested.

The total size of the images is what's going to matter most, since most webserver software / browsers use pipelining these days so multiple images, etc can be sent on the same connection.

Check your server load level ... if the load (that is to say the number of requests waiting) is above 2, that may be an indication it's having trouble keeping up...

Sometimes increasing memory is all that's needed - the more that's cached in ram as opposed to being read off the HD, the faster requests will be...

On a related note, there are some logging features in both Linux (if running that OS) and Apache (and of most others) that frequently hit the HD - disabling some types of logging (when it's practical to do so) can help speed things up by reducing HD accesses.

All of the above is basically meaningless if your server connection to the internet is slow - however, if most of what you're serving is static images, then I'd wager your connection is likely fast enough for your needs, but something to verify *before* tinkering too much with the server itself.

because apache configured to run scripts well will allways suck for images i have pegged a p4 2.4 with 1 gig ram to 95mbs with a load of .1 and less then 300mb of ram used apache would have melted the server.

Everything he posted in true but has nothing to do with the thread the question was how to server images.

That made me check my image traffic. Still works fine.

Brenda, just wondering, if you don't mind, how much are you getting? It must be shitloads if you need a server (or more) just for that. You don't want to redirect it, then how are you gonna make money from it?

brenda? lol cute

frank, trade secrets man.

im getting enuff to warrent a server or 2 to make sure they are there. and the way im going to monetize will defently support the costs of the servers + profit.. the juice is worth the squeeze

and its not just google traffic.. as its a ton of image traffic, google is picking it up and rolling with it as well.
