View Full Version : Bandwidth; scarse and expensive

wherever I go, places cannot offer me enough bandwidth. For example, i used up about a GB of bandwidth yesterday. To get the amount of bandwidth I use, it is extremely expensive. I have yet to see a reliable place that is free and can offer me enough.

If i was older than 15 and had a job (parents won't let me) then I would. Right no I have no source of money.

You do realize that someone offering you bandwidth is the result of the provider purchasing goods and services of another company that they then inturn offer you in exchange for financial consideration. It is shortsighted to expect someone to give you something for free that they pay a considerable amount of money for.

What kind of site(s) do you have to use so much bandwidth? You might be able to put ads on the site and get some money back from it.

Send me an AIM/ICQ/MSN/email at mypointsinfo@yahoo.com with your type of site. I might host you in return for ads... :)

www.statikvision.com - It's a gaming site, but has lots of downloads, like skins and maps.

I'd suggest sponsored hosting then, if you can't pay then someone will have to. Look into advertising, or find a host that'll cover costs in exchange for a service.

Sincerely,

rotfl, don't worry about it. But getting 600-650 unique visitors a day (Been open since Sunday, that's what I got before we closed, just haven't fully recooped yet) with tons of downloads takes a toll on bandwidth.

:D OK so maybe Morphious is a little naive, but u guys are taking the piss...

All these Unlimited options are generally riddled with clauses like: No download sites, no mirrors and if your bandwidth usage doesn't break those rules then they come with the "excessive load on server resources" clause.

Its largely all b*llsh*t this "Unlimited" features talk.

hosting your own site on DSL or cable isn't an option not with 1 GB a day of delivery, wot u need is a sponsor. Mester seems keen...

You should ask to a host to host you for free but you will put there banner only, on all your pages maybe you could send a little money (probably it will help) just says how much space and bandwitdh you need, and tell how much visitor you get....

or

Do i site for someone tell them you will do it for free in exchange of half of space and bandwitdh that he got, you can still put banner so you can make money if you ever go pass your bandwitdh limite
ps: it work for me

Hope it help you;)

Do those unlimited plans at $1 host really work?

I could have some fun with that. Not for my site though, just for files. music, etc...
