Paid hosting
 

Well hello board,

It's been a long time since I've posted. I even forgot I registered here.

I've been lurking around a bit and discovered how helpful this board is to newbie webmasters |bow|

My traffic and sales have really dropped in the last couple of years and I've been stumped.

I came across this site http://bl.usefulscripts.com/blocked/search.phtml on this board and found out my domains are blacklisted because Im on a "free host"

I'm with revsharehosting which I assumed was not really a free host.

My question is, can you guys please suggest some good pay hosts I can use?

I'm averaging only about 35k to 50k uniques a day submitting galleries.

What kind of costs am I looking at for this type of traffic?

Please give me an idea how much I would be paying if I was getting 100k a day on a payhost?

Cheers!
Teebs

Thanx Cosmiccat,

Can you and Cleo give me an idea how much I would be paying for, let's say, 80 to 100k uniques a day in traffic?

Thanx again

take a look at our plans. you get a free month as well to try us out. contact me with any questions.

Stop in and check out our $6.95 shared plan and your first 2 months are free.

Thanx for responding everyone (spamming? LOL),

But I don't know what hosting plan to use because I don't know how much gig transfer I need.

For example, If I generate about 80k iniques a day posting galleries to TGP's, how much bandwidth will I be burning, so which plan would fit that kind of traffic?

depends on how big your images are, how many images you have etc. etc.
you can start off on a basic plan, keep an eye on BW usage and upgrade as needed.

Here's a sample gallery http://www.dirtysweetteenz.com/aaa71/aaa71.htm

Any guesstamits?

It really depends on where it gets listed.

I have a listing on the Hun today. It is way down on the list so it isn't getting a lot compared to when I get one near the top. At its peak it was pulling about 4 megs per second today.

Dreamhost with their unbeatable promo offer; plus they're always up and fast! $7.95/month for 120 GB bandwidth! Or
Exmasters' gift - $0.29/GB for galleries

nomad, if you are interested in a dedicated server please hit me up on sales@chilihost.com, we have just released a larger bandwitdh package that gives you 1200GB per month for $295. This should cover you off nicely for your 100k hits per day you will get on a good fast paid hosting account, plus give you room to grow too.

cheers,
Luke

Hi chilihost,

I'm still looking around. $295.00 is a little heavy for me as I'm only getting about 50k a day average.

I'm assuming I might be getting twice as many uniques when I get off of the blacklist at http://bl.usefulscripts.com/blocked/search.phtml for being on a "freehost". (revshare???)

I'll purchase another domain and with luck some of the bigger TGP's will post my galleries again.

I'm not sure if I'm ready for a dedicated server.

Do you have a smaller, yet still fast server plan with a good up time?

I got on board with Colo today. I know it's only the first day and all but I gotta tell ya so far I'm very impressed. After talking to Chris I can tell that "top notch support" is right on! |thumb

That's who I'll be recommending.

Nomad, I replied to your email but have not heard back.

Do you have an idea as to what you are looking for, bandwidth and disk space wise? If you give me some stats like this I can give you custom quote.

Cheers,
Luke

Sorry Luke,

I was busy last week transferring all my data to another hard drive. What a pain.

I really don't know what bandwidth or disc space I need. I can't seem to get my traffic over 50, 60k a day...averaging only about 40k.

One host offered me $50.00 a month. Sound right?

Cheers!

your bandwidth needs depends on your galleries and picture sizes, for instance, the same number of hits would use about double the bandwidth to a graphical gallery with images that are 90kb each VS a plain text gallery with images that are 50kb each.

If you are doing 40k hits per day and increase that by 20k for no longer being blacklisted (that is realistic) then 60k hits daily would prolly burn something like 600GB per month. To me $50/mo sounds too low, make sure you check what it includes and the cost if you go over your included bandwidth.

cheers,
Luke

50 to 60 K per day
 

Thats 2 gB per month. From my commercial host account on Kwikfire which is dual hosted in EU and US I can sell you

1 Gb webspace
10 Gb transfer per month
Unlimited email addresses
CGI/PERL/PHP scripts
Unlimited mySQL databases
Unlimited subdomains
Mailing list module
Advanced statistics

All for $110 a YEAR thats $10 a month

Expandable to 50gigs(and up to 25 domains) for $500 a year and unlimited at $7 per gig per YEAR.

All the facilities you can eat.

Interested?

$10.00 a month sounds too good to be true.

I've been looking around a lot now and get quoted anywhere from $100.00 to $300.00 a month for a basic dedicated which I guess I would need.

But I'm only managing a few sales a week which wouldn't justify even that much. |cry|
Any other suggestions?

Thanx
