File Hosting Website
Jul 2, 2007
A friend of mine and I are developing a new File Hosting website. Growth of data is huge and we'd need a way to welcome million daily users.
What do we need? We have already 4 servers on hand ready to go. We are coding a kind of multi-server script to make our life easier.
What about the specs we'd need for our main server? Do we need a load-balancing system?
And for hardware replacement, is there anyway to get life easier if any hdd (hard drive disk) are broken?

We had written a free file sharing website like rapidshare,2shared,4shared n .... .
We let people add as many file as they want to upload.
People also search and browse among files.
Do we need a dedicated server or a dedicated VPS ?
How much should the configuration be? i mean How much Ram?
We need to add extra hard disks in the close future.
Maybe sometime we need to add clustering and ... .
Please tell me in detail about the initial configuration needed to run this website so we ll be sure that the site will never be down or lacks of hard disk and ram or CPU.
and tell me your experience in best dedicated services with online support which will be good friends.

It would be private, accessed by about 40-200 students from my faculty. We would share scanned documents and Powerpoint slides that we receive from professors, as well as the latest news such as changes of lecture times etc.
Optimal would be something like Google Groups, but with larger storage (5 GB min). I am therefore considering running ubuntu LAMP on a basic Linode.
what software can i run that provides my group with a Google-groups-like web interface? RSS capability is a plus, so is an easy setup.

I have created a Cpanel full backup of my website. The file is 2.65GB in size, but when I log in with my FTP client, I get a LISTERROR - [filename] and the filename doesn't appear in the directory window.
Can I still use a custom command to download this file?

I have no intention of trying to make some video/file sharing website.
Some people might recognize me as being somewhat cynical in my replies to the people who post these sorts of messages.
What I'm curious about is, after having occasionally told people "You'll make significantly more money throwing the money you intend to waste on this project into a traditional investment..." I still see new people every week asking for the same help.
Now, I understand very few people are going to give up their dream and just throw in the towel because some random guy says their dream is stupid, they are stupid, and may god have mercy on their soul...
But, I don't (always) necessarily try to dissuade people from starting this sort of project simply to be a prick.
What I'd like to find out is if there are any people out there who've created a successful video/file sharing website who'd like to help others out...
Like, what advice they would have for people who want to get into starting a similar site.
How much bandwidth does your site use?
What's the URL?
How are you making money from the site?
How long did it take for your site to make a profit?
etc etc...
Alternatively, if you've tried to start a video/file sharing website and given up on those plans...
Why did you end up giving up?
What problems did you run into?

I am trying to ftp some changes to my site. The strange thing is that while the FTP client (Filezilla) is accepting the new file, it will not show up on the new site. I've tried caching, refreshing browers, and rebooting but nada.
I then went back into my FTP client and checked the timestamp of the file being uploaded. For whatever reason, it will not show the most recent time of the file being uploaded, much less accept the most recent upload.
Here is a screenshot of what I mean.

Whats the benefit of putting up your own web hosting server in the company to host your website?
Obviously its going to be more economical and Im sure there are plenty of documentation online on how to do this.
why most people wont go with this approach and rather find a hosting company to do this for them instead.

Why are all the established and turnkey websites trying to sell you some cheap hosting package and always say there is something like a $8.88 domain renewal fee and all that junk?
I'm just looking for a template to setup, already with content and whatnot and I can't find any, none! Does anyone sell just templates?

A few days back i had made a post asking about which would the best host for a dating website that me and a couple of friends were planning to start. Thanks alot to everyone for the answers.
However now we have decided to go with a gaming website, as the idea appeals to most of us.
The concept is to have a real time online game running on the server 24X7, people can join any time they want and leave any time they want, the game would still keep progressing. My main concerns with such a site are:
1. Bandwidth : As people will be online for a long time playing the game I am guessing we will need good amount of bandwidth
2. Server CPU : Will we end up eating lot of server CPU as the game engine will be running 24X7 on the server? What kind of implications does this have? I dont see any CPU specific details in the hosting plans i have seen so far.
Please advise on the above two. What kind of hosting should I be looking for? Hosting budget is 30$/month (max).

I have a friend who has a dedicated server right now that uses a good 4GB for all his website content. (not streaming media but just a whole bunch of scripts and etc. well thats what he tells me). And so anyways, his SQL database is about 1-2GB. And he is not too sure about his monthly traffic but its a social networking site with a good amount of users (so its actively used by many users). Would it be necessary for him to have a dedicated server or do you think he could cut costs with a shared hosting account at like host gator or some other shared hosting service like that? I guess my biggest concern is his current database. A lot of shared hosting companies (from what i saw) offer unlimited Mysql Tables do they have size limits? And does a bigger sql database drastically effect the performance of the overall server?

I am re-developing a website that launched 8 yeas ago. When the site launched it was developed in TCL and had an Oracle back end. The site's previous developer is still hosting the site on his server.
Long story short, we are re-developing the site on a new server at a different location. We'd like to re-launch on the old server (to help maintain Google search rankings), but we are developing in .Net and SQL. The old server is Linux. We want to maintain our ranking on Google since we are "Top Ten" on more than 20 great keyword phrases.
If we use a DNS forward from the old IP to the new one, are we going to loose rankings on Google? Obviously yes. But would it be beneficial to help the old developer buy a SQL server so the DNS forward is to a server 2 feet away as opposed to across the country? Does Google treat these equally?

I believe it's ev1server.net But i'm not sure if it's correct or not. This website is jacking some of my cursors. He/she doesn't even rename the files that he/she takes. It's the exact same filename as the one's I have on my website. Also when you look internally you can see information about the cursors. It says something like created by, animated by etc.
I just want to contact his webhost to remove my cursors.

Now in browser if I put, firstsitename est it shows the second website.
My question is, i) How can i block that? ii) Will this kind of hosting give any problem with SEO?

I use 34SP to host my website, and the package which I use allows me 2000MB of traffic a month. If every image that I use on my website (including the logo and background image) is hosted on photobucket instead of by the 34SP server, does this mean that the data received from photobucket won't count against my monthly traffic allowance?
And is this a reliable way of doing things? I guess it's less reliable than having all the images on the same server, but how often is this likely to go wrong?

both concerns with programming,hosting and domain as well.
Have we had any solution for a website with multi hosting? I mean how to prevent it from being down by transfering it to another host. I know that it is about A record. If my site down, i should immediately change A record point to another IP of a backup server. However, it still takes time.

thought in terms of the responsibilities that a website designer has in the selection of and set up of web hosting for their clients' websites?
Do you encourage clients to choose their own hosting and give you the details?Or do you find them the best deal for their requirements? If so, do you have a web host you regularly reccomend, or is it case-by-case?

how to host one domain accross two different servers that gives resliance and load balancing?
I know I could setup my domain on two servers and have two of the following records:
www.domain.com x.y.z.a (IP add 1)
www.domain.com y.y.z.a (IP add 2)
But the problem is users also access emails by www.domain.com/webmail.
Now the MX record is pointing to one sever as we want to gather all the emails at one point. So how do I get the users to go to one particular server for the email? I was thinking to alter the email url to something like
www.mail.domain.com/webmail which only goes to one server.
