Its essentially omegle 2.0 Its definitely a fun site in the way many sites are 'fun' - However, like 4chan- Turning it into a business is not going to be straight forward as due to the extreme content your only real option is to sell direct

Ive spent alot of time in this field and can give you a perfect answer: Serious domainer (buying + selling domains for a living): Moniker or Fabulous.com - Both are designed to handle mass updating of domains easy and for optimal parking. M

Lots of hate for kickstarter. Pledgebank has been doing this since 04 at least. I run petitionspot so I have been watching sites like this and they just didnt do a good job. Just look at thepoint.com ( now groupon ) - They tore it up becaus

Is there a way to sort out domains with numbers + hyphens in them? I imagine most people are most concerned with llll.com domains.

I see a reference in this thread to it being a macbook air sans keyboard. I think its much more likely that its a 4x sized iphone.

Better question- How does 4chan keep itself from getting raided for the endless amount of CP that gets posted there?

I wonder what liability it opens up if someone does a show for a movie/tvshow and charges for it. Indirectly profiting from infringement is different than directly profiting from it.

Looks like I am the only one in here that uses dedicated servers. Mix of theplanet, colo at level3 and gigenet.

How much per mb is amazon currently charging for bandwidth?

Smells like bullshit. Firefox doesnt have more usage than IE. Must be traffic to one website, not global usage.

Is there any way to make the scroogle pages not so.... Ugly? I much prefer the look and feel of normal google results but would obviously prefer the scroogle version.

First off, The "average" PHP / MySQL shop will almost never be cheaper on amazon. Are you kidding me? The average php and mysql website has one server or less. You dont have 2, or 3. So either throw out some stats and numbers or stop bull

Ive done it before when I went to a new server. Restoring the bare metal from r1soft.

You might want to go over your figures there. Bandwidth is only 10 cents a gigabyte if you have done 150TB in transfer already. For common folk, its 17 cents a GB. == 170$ per TB I did a rundown a few posts up where I price out the need for

I use VPS for overflow. The hourly billing lets me add in a hardcore box for a few hours when something gets popular or a celeb endorses it. Im a big fan of the cloud, I just dont think it makes economical sense to run something on it all t

by DanBlake 17y ago
I did state in the very first post that hourly billing is the only asset. Thats why its perfect for overflow. I can spin up a double extra large and use it for a few hours when I need it, and kill it afterwards. Thats it though. I use r1sof

Dedicated, Colo, Other VPS's if you must. Shop around.

If you are signing contracts to get a deal, it sounds like you are price conscious. You should see in comments above where I spec out the needs for a typical website. However, Assuming you only need 1.2ghz of single core processing power an

"A measly hundred buck"? I didnt know we dont care about cash anymore. My whole argument is that the advantages of EC2 dont outweigh the cost benefit. When you say things like that then sure, go nuts. I have some monster cables to sell you

Sure. I use EC2 to handle our overflow during peak hours. I had to literally look up guides to dealing with it. Its not exactly straight forward how the IP system works, and figuring out all the ec2 specific crap, images and storing the ima

Cheapo host? Theplanet and others have significantly more servers and datacenters than amazon. Most servers sold from either provider come with 1-2TB of bandwidth. How much does 2TB of bandwidth cost on amazon again? Right. I already said /

You can justify how important that is to you I suppose. Any decent dedicated provider (eg- theplanet.com ) Will email you your server details 5 minutes after you order the box, unless you are getting some weird equipment or off the bend OS.

I dont buy that ec2 relieves the employee need. Its just as difficult, if not MORE difficult to setup a ec2 instance than buying a dedicated server. S3, SDB, CDS, etc.. Yes, those make things easier. EC2 Does not.

by DanBlake 17y ago
The amount you pay for a "small" instance on EC2 is the same price as a machine you can get with gigenet that is more powerful than the "Large" instance. Hence the major problem with ec2- Cost. Yes, you can instantly scale up to a less powe

Using EC2 for anything but overflow is silly. The costs are extraordinarily high if you are doing decent volume ( read- if you have more than 3-5 servers ) Bandwidth is ridiculously expensive with them. You can get 3-4x cheaper per megabit
