which busines is better? File Hosting OR web hosting?

[brainst0rm]

Well, I have been keeping an eye on both the business streams and have been monitoring few sites who're already in the business.

Few things I want you to know:
1. I can invest stable and recurring investment. [Recurring = Every month investment.]
2. I can dedicate my time towards it.
3. I have patience and do not want to become millionaire.

My question:

For those of you who've been around for a long time, which do you think is better business?

- File Hosting Project
- Free web hosting project?

Kids and i-am-funny posters please stay away. Because this thread is made on a serious note, seeking answers from those who have been around.

If you have enough to invest then you can go for both
Actually Webhosting business is the cheapest, just check the Shared Hosting section and you will know what I mean. (Every day there is a new webhosting popping up!)

To start a filehost (dont have experience with that) you need a few servers I think and a good custom coded script.

Are you sure that they've got custom coded script?

Yes sure, most filehosts invest lots of money in a GOOD/STABLE/SECURE/NONFUCKABLE script

As long as you got money to pay for;
- Tons of fast servers, and Internet connections.
- Salaries for yourself, your support team, tech team etc..
- and all the other monthly expenses,

I personally would go for a file host.
