I got a dedicated server! Should I share? - GoFuckYourself.com

OFFSHORE DAN · 03-07-2006, 07:44 PM

Well I just leased a new server with lots of bandwidth and space. There is not possible way I can use it all every month. I am thinking about sharing it with people who sign up under me for at least 3 of my affiliates. I think I could give everyone at least 1 to 2 gigs of space and about 10 gigs of bandwith a month for free. If you guys think it is a good idea and I had enough people that want it I will do it. Each person would point their domain to my server and I they would have Cpanel on my Linux server.

Lets hear your opinions..and GFY

space & 10 gigs of b/w is like $2.99 at any host on the net

just so ya know....most people here wouldn't bend over to pick up a 5spot they dropped in the parking lot

WiredGuy · 03-07-2006, 07:57 PM

pr0 is right, that's pennies. Once you have a couple hundred gigs of bw to play around with, then this might be of interest.

Pornwolf · 03-07-2006, 08:02 PM

That's nice of you. I'm sure someone new might be able to use that.

OFFSHORE DAN · 03-07-2006, 08:18 PM

Ok well here is what I have.

1400 gigs of bandwidth a month
dual 80 gig hard drives

How should I split it then?

I was just putting thos number out there to get ideas.

What is a minimum that someone would need?

I would like to keep at least 100 gigs of the 1400 for myself so that leaves 1300 gigs of bandwidth..

tenderobject · 03-07-2006, 08:26 PM

give mehalf of 1300 please

OFFSHORE DAN · 03-07-2006, 08:28 PM

Seriously

Most people here would bend down for a nickel.

chadglni · 03-07-2006, 08:45 PM

I'm sure you'll find somebody that wants to throw up a blog or similar without worrying with the hosting bill. Good luck.

OFFSHORE DAN · 03-07-2006, 08:51 PM

I just don't use the space so I figured someone might want it.

How much bandwidth do you people use a month?

Alex · 03-07-2006, 08:53 PM

First figure out how much you plan to use. If you are offering it for free i will take some. I can always use domains spread over.

Sounds good!

pr0 · 03-07-2006, 08:58 PM

remember, you're not giving this away free...you expect people to signup under you at sponsors....so create some more value

100gigs or more minimum....figure 100gigs costs $10, is $10 worth the hour it takes to signup & confirm at 3 sponsors?

so make it 150....now you're talking 15$, you might get some bites

OFFSHORE DAN · 03-07-2006, 09:01 PM

So 150 to 200 gigs sounds about right? worth about $20? on a fast dedicated server?

Why the hell did you get dedicated if you use 1/14th of the bandwith ???

I never get clients like you .

Yea, I doubt anyone would do anything much for less BW than that

Yea but most of those are on overtaxed servers or on crappy networks, or both, but I guess if thats all the space and bw you need who gives a fuck.

OFFSHORE DAN · 03-13-2006, 07:31 PM

Ok I am going to do it.

Reliability, reliability, predictability. That's why most low bandwidth dedicated servers choose that route.

Brad

OFFSHORE DAN · 03-13-2006, 07:47 PM

So this is what I am going to dol. Right now I will take 6 people who are willing to sign up for at least three of my affiliates. In return I will give them free hosting on my server. I will take more as time progresses but only 6 for now.

ICQ for details. 288-184-990

Thanks for your suggestions guys.

They are the best kind of clients, they allow the host to over-sell the data center at least three times.

CyberHustler · 03-13-2006, 08:09 PM

Yeah Damnit Sharing Is Caring

Pornwolf · 03-13-2006, 08:11 PM

I'm guessing that's 99% of the clients on mainstream hosts.

OFFSHORE DAN · 03-13-2006, 08:12 PM

I want to use up this bandwidth!
