Cosby 04-25-2006, 12:13 PM Right now there are about 45 people on TFL and carbonfiberhoods.net and it's not even peak hours yet. Pretty much, these sites are putting a huge load on the server and I'm going to have to go with a dedicated server. The upside is 100% uptime, lots of space, waaay faster and I can add more sites for free/offer email/etc. Downside is the cheapest I've found is $80. Any thoughts/suggestions? fcdrifter13 04-25-2006, 02:13 PM Have people make donations of a dollar maybe. Cosby 04-25-2006, 02:35 PM nah, I don't mind supporting it for now DarkAngelKamui 04-25-2006, 02:58 PM I think it could only help things, seeing how most of the regs are always complaining about the downtimes... And when there's downtimes, there's no chance for new users after all... Hades12 04-25-2006, 03:06 PM How much space and BW does the site use? I have been thinking about starting a forum. Manntis 04-25-2006, 03:46 PM is that $80/month or $80/annum? Cosby 04-25-2006, 06:03 PM 80 a month Cosby 04-25-2006, 06:16 PM about 14-30GB bandwidth and 1-3 GB storage for this site Zero 04-25-2006, 06:51 PM just no efficient way to make money off of a forum except selling it out to vendors like 7club... Won't happen here.... it's general topic.... so it's going to end up being a money pit. wonner 04-25-2006, 06:54 PM Do it. I've been getting the 'busy sever' message fairly frequently for about two weeks now. And when there's downtimes, there's no chance for new users after all... Bingo Zero 04-25-2006, 06:55 PM I'll take my advertisements off of youtube if so desired. Cosby 04-25-2006, 08:34 PM nope, leave them... the new load problem is being caused by carbonfiberhoods.net I'll resolve it. I'm just asking for suggestions. TFL hasn't been much of a money pit. I'd rather put a little time and money into this forum than browse one of the other crappy ones. In all honestly I love this forum compared to others. Cosby 04-25-2006, 09:20 PM # Self Managed Dedicated # Server # Intel Xeon Processor 3.x or higher (700mhz+) # 64 bit or 32 bit # 80 GB Disk Space (SCSI) # 256MB ECC Ram # 2000 GB Data Transfer # LINUX Anyone else interested in a little space? :) I'm going to buy it after next week when I have some time to get the new server setup. |
