I started a site and it recently got really really popular. It is on a Cobalt RaQ server. The site stats say the following in reference to stats for the last 24 hours:
Total Requests 160699
Distinct Files Served 1670
Bytes Transferred 78168277413
Now I have to post this to make sure I am reading the thing right. Is it telling me that in the last 24 hours I have transferred 78GB of data? And if so, is that the same thing as saying I have a plan that allows for 100GB of bandwidth per month, thus I have 22GB remaining if my new month started yesterday?

well that's more like ~72 gigs but regardless a little more info would be helpful...
what is you site? do you have any sort of hit counter to check those numbers against? etc

Its a site that distributes music videos, so most likely those numbers are accurate. It has transferred about that much daily for the last 14 days straight. http://www.1337media.com/~zone
Maybe I should start looking for a new host eh?

Man 2000+GB/month is a lot. You probably should look for a host that has very cheap bandwidth. You're gonna fidn yourself paying a lot of extra money this month on overage, and with what you are giving out, it will only get more popular. You'll probably hit 100GB/day pretty fast.

So you can distribute copyrighted music videos, but you can't distribute the music by itself?
Hmmmm....

On Ebay I saw some companies advertising 500 megs of storage with unlimited bandwidth for $40/year.
(really it was advertised there in an auction).
You could move your busy site there since they have unlimited bandwidth :)

Went to your site and you definitely need a new setup. Your site is Extremely slow.

Forget about it! You will never get this site to pay you back.
The videos eat up bandwith like we breath air. prepare for some very large bandwith bill.

Hello,
I think he uses virtual hosting.
If that is the case, I feel sorry for that web hosting company. :angry:
If he is on a dedicated server, then he would be worry by now.

This morning it looks like his site is down and either if it was a dedicated server it's down or the guy he got his account from his dedicated server is down.
WAIT... while typing this message and after watching IE sit there for 2 mins prior the background has started to load... no graphics but the background is coming up after about FOUR mins of loading.
I agree... I would hate to be his provider. Even if he has a virtual account there probably is some kind of bandwidth overage fees.
