porn on amazon servers?
 

Hi, Anyone using amazon servers for your porn site? if so how is it? thanks

Bump for you :pimp

could get quite expensive vs the cost of a dedicated somewhere

Thats what I was thinking at first

yeah your right http://aws.amazon.com/s3/pricing/

woudl be about $1,300 a month for roughly 30mbps, wherey ou can get a 100mbps for much cheaper.

The whole amazon pricing thing confuses me. Let's say I want to offer users faster uploads (not downloads) for things like profile images, album photos etc. And once uploaded I have a script on my server that retrieves the uploads and destroys them on the amazon S3 instance. I don't get charged for storage obviously because no files are actually being stored there but to transfer those files from amazon s3 to my own SAN would cost me $0.12 per GB if I am transferring up to 10GB per month. Is that right?

$1200 to transfer uploaded files from S3 to my SAN just to make the upload experience better for end users seems a bit steep. Or am I totally misunderstanding their pricing model?

We switched our stuff to AWS last year. Absolutely love it.
adult content = yes
more expensive = yes
insanely confusing price structure = yes

Anyhow, I was tired of trad hosts: downtimes, hardware upgrades, shitty support and willing to pay more for a better experience.

Also, cannot explain what the exact causes were: speed increase? not adult/burned IPs? but within 48 hours of switching we got a huge increase in search engine results.

couldn't agree more! i guess website speed is still one of the main factors for google.

I think it makes sense if site A & site B are otherwise equal, then faster/better load times wins.
We do also use their DNS service Route 53 which might be a plus as well

interesting stuff
