    What percentage of your profit goes to hosting?

    Is it around 20%, more, or less?

        Well if you had to relate your hosting costs to your profits what kind of percentage would you come up with?

                    Hosting is a very very very small percentage of our costs, and doesn't take a big chunk out of what we make. Then again, our camfeeds are hosted for free by other people who resell them so all we pay to host are pics, videos, and text.

                      Profit is what you make after all of your overhead is cleared.

                      However, I think you meant, "What percentage of your overhead goes to hosting?". If you meant profit then the answer is 0%. If you meant total gross or overhead then I would say about 5%. I have overhead when it comes to the T1 circuit I purchased and the other bills I have to pay to keep it going.

                                    30%, i fucking kill bandwidth!

                                    Edit: I actually dont use all the bandwidth. But shit grows fast so i just get it in advance so i dont have to shop around later. Its a fucking pain in the ass to move servers.

                                        That's a scary thought. No offense, but you learn about profit, margins, overhead, gross, and etc. in your first 2 years of college in Macro and Micro Eco classes. You don't have to be a business Major to know shit like that.

                                        My Undergrad studies taught me pretty much everything I wanted to know about business, the rest is just common sense.

                                          Was it a typo? If so, then I apologize for coming down on you like an anal professor or something.

                                            yea no shit, i learned about all of that a few years ago also. maybe you didn't see where i said "i didn't mean to say profit." but you can go ahead and hold it against me and my business knowledge if it makes you feel better...

                                                About 1-2% of gross income I would say.

                                                          Out of X amount of dollars I bring in a month, about 1.6% goes to my hosting costs.

                                                          (based on last month's numbers)

                                                                    However, I think you meant, "What percentage of your overhead goes to hosting?". If you meant profit then the answer is 0%. If you meant total gross or overhead then I would say about 5%. I have overhead when it comes to the T1 circuit I purchased and the other bills I have to pay to keep it going.
                                                                    Go back to your child not born thread. What the hell are you doing here? Who the fuck buys a "T1" any more? Get with the program 1.5 mbits on a "T1"

What the fuck are you posting your crap here if you are going throug a personal tragety? You are lower than the lowest layer of prehsitoric frog shit at the bottom of a New Jersey scum swamp!

                                                                                    You don't know what you said to piss me off?!?!!? By that statement, I would assume that you NEVER graduated from HS because you're too fucking stupid to see what's right in front of your fat fucking face. Based on your profile you were born November 27, 1965. That sucks that you're that old and fucking lonely. Wait, no it doesn't. I don't care if you're my "elder", if I ever see you in person I will punch you in the fucking face. Bank on it.
