I'm having a hard time believing this. Google has said countless times that they are watching for spam tactics like purchased links. So it's hard to fathom that in 2014 they haven't figured out how to detect hardlink abusers. Please educate me if I'm fubar on the issue.

Very nice. But are you serving Beeg-quality videos? He's serving 1280x720 @ 2100kbps and low ads -- Which I'm sure leads to more pageviews than the average tube site. So I'm thinking his 25k could easily use more juice than someone else's 50k.

if that was true it would mean that Beeg doesnt do any sales now - and i think you are mistaken if you think that

Nope. I think he makes dramatically more sales than the average tube, because he's proving that the video quality REALLY IS better when you join a premium site. With traditional tubes, no matter how many times they say "Join to get the Premium HD version," surfers can't SEE the difference.

Plus i bet conversions from beeg are much better then on any other regular tube.

Yep. Agreed.

- We don't know how much of each movie on average each person views vs how much of it is actually downloaded (They download 3 minute of movie in 10 seconds, and change it after 10 seconds)
- etc etce
That being said, your estimates are way, way off, and to use MaxCDN for this project would be insane.
Regarding bandwidth usage, I would say an *AVERAGE* - and take this with a grain of salt bcause it can swing each way - if you are hosting all the videos yourself then 10k UV is around 70-80mbits if you have relatively productive traffic that watches several videos. Your cost for this site would be closer to $300-600/month depending on the host, and you certainly don't need a separate db server to support 25k UV

Awesome info. Thank you k0nr4d. I assumed that a CDN would be necessary to help balance the load of serving such big files on such a large scale. But I'm a dunce about such things. It's nice to know that my vision is made more easily attainable by these lower estimates you and Sandman are throwing around.
