    I'm sure Brad and Mojohost would work out a great deal for you.

        Considaring anyone that runs a real network with the correct connections/contact can get peering traffic to dramaticly drop the cost of bandwidth for your network. 1-2/Mbps on average cost for peering traffic is easy to come around.

          My server config right now is soooooooooo simple really if that helps I do not even run a tube script? at all Yet I will need a huge amount of BW going forward.

          About that, once I hit 100 mbps on the new server, should I then start adding new separate servers of 100 mbps each or start thinking about 500mbps packages?
          Given the correct box and software i.e single quad with 4-8gb ram or dual quad with 4x 15k sas drives you can easily do 700Mbps out of a single machine.

            No offense, just my point of view.
            No offense taken at all We run the gamut, and I will say that in general you'll max out your drive I/O capacity before you fully utilize 250GB.

            We host some sites w/ over 40TB of content - these sites obviously have a *much* different architecture than your standard dedicated server configurations you'll see mass-marketed Scaling static content is fairly interesting to me, and it's a fun time w/ the numerous technologies out there (fusionIO, huge RAM cache boxes, SSD, etc.).


            As for your question Maxpower - it depends! In general, a single server should be able to easily push far more than 100mbit. However, in the end your content set and user access patterns will dictate your growth path on the static end.

                Hi, my "real user generated content" tube site is chewing up 2.5 TBs of bandwidth a day so Im also looking to move around. Basically getting around 80k uniques a day at the moment. Im hosting the main site on a dual quad core with 4 gigs ram with Theplanet (peak hours hit 5k unique visitors) and the load jumps to almost 20 but it still handles. Theplanet is basically a super premium main stream host.

                For the video streaming servers I'm using 10tb.com which is basically a reseller of softlayer.com I've had no problem at all with their servers. I have 3 video servers with them and they work great, they have unbelievable prices. Starting at $199 for 10TBs quad cores!

                In all honesty, you really only need super premium Tier 1 bandwidth for your main web server but not for the streaming servers, especially for a tube site.

                30TBs is not nearly enough for me though so Im considering possibly moving to choopa.com or another host that offers full pipes, perhaps 250MB dedicated will do for me. I sometimes peak at 300 but 250 may be fine. I have to keep the overhead down.

                  I'm also looking for the same kind of thing, 100 megabit plans for sub $6/megabit rates. I have one new host I'm signing with today and could use more.

                    I was actually talking to them this morning, 10tb for 199 is great, but they don't easily accomodate overage. They were suggesting I buy 2-3 packages and do DNS shuffling on them which I don't like. I'd rather just get 1 server and get a 30TB package which they can't seem to be able to do.

                      Jens, they are right. Tubes dont take up THAT much space. 250gb is plenty and the biggest problem is in fact disk i/o. Best solution is like 4 drives in a mirrored striped array.

                        Yea, thats the problem I've been having. The 10TBs gets eaten up quick then I have to move content from one server to another. Pain in the butt. Im not really using all 3 servers at once, Im using one at a time until the 10tbs run out then I move everything over. So basically one server is more than capable of handling the traffic, I just need more bandwidth allotted to the one server.

                          Are you doing the DNS shuffle or rotating servers or could you find a way to more easily do this? The last thing I want to do is login every few days to rotate servers/DNS servers.

                            You can setup roundrobin dns on your dns server and have it randomly load a server on every user request...

                              WiredGuy,

                              I'd love to talk to you further regarding your needs.

                              I honestly do not understand the folks that absolutely limit bandwidth on a given server - it's a cost savings on my end to have you use 300Mbit on a single machine, rather than 100Mbit on 3 separate machines.

                              Let me know what I have to do to win your business

                                No, im changing the server my videos point to in MYSQL and physically copying over the files. Trust me, you dont want to deal with that type of a headache. Stick with the direction your heading in lol Its where Im looking to go now. Except its a 1500$ plus commitment. Has me a bit uncertain.

                                Is it me, or I dont seem to get email notifications from threads on this site? It says Im subscribed but I dont get anything.
