please explain my doubt

A small Calculation

WE plan to start a small file hosting site

we have custom script


total user = 500

We allow 500GB/user

so

we need 250TB Hard disk

if we have 500 uploader we get 10000-15000 User per day

if we get 15000 user per day

50-60 user download same time
so

if speed 1Gbps
average download speed 1.8 - 2 MBps that's ok

15000 user per day

average add clicks 150- 160
we can get 7 - 10 $ per day
month 210-250 $

Server cost

we need monthly BW = 75TB

No Server with 250TB HD

175$ For 1 Server with 4TB HD so
we need 63 Server
total server cost 11025$ But erning 250$ lost 10775$

HOW TO RUN FILE HOSTING SITEs ?
please explain?

sell premium accounts FTW

[shanshayan]

If we sell premium accounts

500*10 = 5000$

but total server cost 11025$

If you dont have high budget then dont start it.

In the beginning there is almost 0 profit and very huge investment.

(I am saying this from my experience of last 45 days in CloudCache)

Please do not open a file host if you believe that is the amount of hard drive space you can get per server and port speed.

You need to have at least 6 month's expense in your hands to keep it running and secondly servers of filehosts don't cost so much

Wat ? Servers of filehosts dont cost so much ?

We are having 24 GB RAM in each server then also load is always high and you are telling it doesnt cost much ?

Bro, dont suggest if you dont know yourself...

mate !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why oh why oh why do u want to buy a server with 250TB Hard disk why ??

In the start u wont get that much uploads mate just start with a server of 4 tb and then upgrade it per usage

LOL snkr007

Probably you did not buy from the right place. And thing is, remote marketing is not the way a filehost should run, take rapidshare and mediafire for an example.

They cost far less than what he calculated, and I can bet on that, as I know it very well.

I dont want to go in an argument, hence ignore it. Stay on topic.

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!
