    I got a dedicated server! Should I share?

    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

        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.

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

            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..

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

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

                        How much bandwidth do you people use a month?

                          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.

                                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

                                  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 .
                                      I know that Asspimple is stoopid ... As he says, it is a FACT !

                                      But I can't figure out how he can breathe or type , at the same time ....

                                        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.

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

                                                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.

                                                  I never get clients like you .

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

                                                      I'm guessing that's 99% of the clients on mainstream hosts.
                                                      I've trusted my sites to them for over a decade...
