    Membership Pages

    Hiya, I've been lurking on the board for a bit and have read through alot of the back posts.

    I am moving into the wonderful world of adult webhosting, although we are doing it the hard way. Where starting with membership sites. We think we have a failrly good idea and we have started shooting content.

    One of the things that has been very difficult is to estimate bandwidth costs, our site will be video and it has been impossible for me to measure what kind of bandwidth requirements we will need. Does anyone have any info they can share in reguards to the great bandwidth issue.

    Thanks
    SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

    Its easy enough to calculate. Assume for the moment you put up 500 meg of video content. Your worst case scenario is every member downloads 500 meg the first month. (I actually have a couple guys who download more than I have, online, because they watch the same ones over and over without saving to their hard drive)

    But of course, not everyone downloads everything. So while you can calculate the worst case, the average case depends on how good your content is, etc. You won't know until you sign up a few members and then you can calculate an average which could be anything from about 100K to the whole site depending on what your shit is.
