please explain my doubt

You can contact the datacenter directly and explain them that you will be ordering around 50-60 servers. So they'll give you a huge discount for sure.

Also, if there are 500 users and they are willing to pay 12$/mo then, 500*12 = $6000/mo + 200$ from ads.
Total Earnings: $6200. (if you consider the payment processing fees then cut this to $6000/mo )

For those 500 users, you'll need 250TB HDD (check if you really need that).

1 server with 2 TB HDD, then you'll be needing almost 64 servers.

Cost of 1 server would normally be around 100$ (yes, you can get this price, just contact any *big* US datacenter). So 64 x 100 = 6400$

So that's almost like +400$ you'll need to put from your pocket. You can reduce this extra cost by reducing the server expenses (either by getting more discount, or buying your own hardware and colocating servers at a price low as 50$/mo per server with datacenter OR just reduce the number of servers to 50 at the start).

Why not FileFox?


UltimA said it in another thread a while back you need about 50K to start and operate a file host for the short term. I think if you have a affy program it will probably require more then that for the first 6 months.

@foxman - he means rewards program, he wants to say to OP that OP should open a filehost like RS or MF without affiliate program...

[haytham_12_12]

lol 250TB HD for new hosting <<< do u want to reopen megaupload in another name <<<
you can start by only 1 or 2 servers the server has 8TB HD so that will become great then when ur filehost start to hit the limit "say u have 8TB then when it becomes near 6 TB " then you should buy another one & so one .
that's how you can build a filehost site not to begin with 250 TB .

You just spoke what I had in my mind

This Thread is very interesting!

Also this calulation is done without affiliate system, imagine if you gotta pay uploaders too! I wonder how do paying hosts break even!!




Can you make it more specific? What do you mean by remote marketing!

By remote marketing, I mean, don't just hide behind that monitor in your home trying to run a "FILEHOST". People like to see who they are working with

@foxman - he means rewards program, he wants to say to OP that OP should open a filehost like RS or MF without affiliate program...

No I did not mean that. What I mean't is, don't be like calling yourself gay names like Hish and all that. Stand out in public and be original and then only you can be good at it. Hiding and working will bring you no good.

Dont be sorry. It's all fine bro. Not a big deal
