I am currently on a shared package with a US company. However, I'd like to bring the site into the UK hosting domain, and perhaps closer to where I live.
Location in the UK isn't important.
What's the best thing to go with? VPS or Dedi? Or to remain on my US shared?
Currently at about 35GB bandwidth for this month. And the site's only been open 2 months. So will need over 200GB a month with room to expand.
And about 50GB space minimum if possible... :-/
Does Image hosting site requires a Powerful server or just enough bandwidth?
I am not sure if I should get a more powerful SERVER or increase my current BANDWIDTH Cap
For people who has a Image/File hosting type website.. what kind of server are you using?
I used to use dedimove.com, but they have dropped off the face of the earth i moved to another host, id rather not say them name as i dont want to give them a bad name and have no complaints with their service other then the speeds are not very good...
im looking for a 100mbit port and under 100 dollars price range as the site really doesnt make any money... and at least 3 TB transfer...
I am having a win 2003 server with a static ip and i have hosted 2 web sites in the iis server but no images are been displayed is it something to do with the designing of the site or some problem in my hosting,
View 4 Replies View RelatedI already started a thread, and got suggestions about a host to choose. I selected HostGator, but when i read the TOS of HostGator, they do not openly allow image sharing and do not allow you to keep more than 50,000 files on their server.
So, which host do you recommend me. Please consider:
1. Low cost,
2. Reliability,
3. High shared disk and bandwidth
4. Allow image sharing. (I am not going to share adult images).
if i want to make image hosting such as allyoucanupload or imageshack , where hosting should i go to,... i was with hostgator and they suspended me for it.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have developed website which will allow user to upload 1-2 photos and also allow to see other users photo and rate them. For this I have planned to go for VPS. I am also thinking of another alternative of using image hosting service, where I will keep all user photos on image hosting server and embed links given by image server in my webpage.
Now my question is.
1) Using image hosting is faster(respone time for each user) than VPS?
2) How exactly using image hosting works. when user request web page from my server, will my server go and fetch entire image from image server and then send final result to user brower?
where I can host images for my site. It will be thousands of smaller image like 5k - 30k. I am looking at free sites like imageshak. They say in their terms of service that I can host images for my site as long as I don't host all my images. So do you think that I could put like 20 thousand images on their site? These images would not get accessed too much so it won't slam their servers or anything.

My htaccess looks like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /images
#Allow if it's not from another website
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^[url]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^[url]
#Allow if it's the hotlink.gif
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} hotlink.gif [NC,OR]
#Pass through thumbnails or hightlights as-is
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} .thumb.jpg$ [NC,OR]
#Return an anti-hotlink gif in place of any visual media
RewriteRule .*.(jpe?g|gif|bmp|png)$ css/images/hotlink.gif [R,L,NC]
We have an image hosting project, which uses ~5Tb/mo,
Currently we are running it on Pentium D 2,8GHz CPU (Dual Core), 1Gb RAM, 2×160Gb 7200rpm IDE HDD for ~170$/mo.
We don't need much better hardware, but need some good hdds (IDE sucks) + RAID.
Stats for 20.03.08-30.03.08 (10 days) - incoming: 35 Gb, outgoing: 1.3 Tb
So it's about ~4 Tb/mo. And we want 5-6Tb for a reserve.
Keyweb doesn't allow image hosting on their servers
Best choice is OVH, but I'm not in Germany..
i'm planning to create an image hosting kind of site. how much bandwidth per month does it usually take?
View 6 Replies View Relatedi have plan to build a image hosting. I will build a site using script like this notinportland.com . I need some advise.
I trust i will get about 7k-10k page view everyday , may be 1k-2k unique visitor, just see image on my site, not direct link.
- Of course, i will start with shared hosting. But in future, do i need to updrage vps or server ?
- Does Image hosting make server load highly, using more resource on server?
- All images is legal and have adult content, of course sometime it will have some illegal image ( will be banned and deleted )? Can HPs will allow?
I have started a new image hosting website and currently i alloted 7 GB Disk Space and 30GB BW. I know it will not be enough after the site get famous. So which host i can go for to be in a safer side with my image hosting website?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am wondering if there is disk image hosting? like, I may create disk image there, when
I swich to another ISP, I may restore the image I created. I could be very helpful for server migration or data backup.
Does anybody know whether this kind of service exists?
I own a social network generating over 50 million page views a month. Currently, I use only one massive server. I want to add in a new server just for image serving, as my current server is killing me with high bandwidth costs.
Server A runs the website and the logic
Server B runs runs the images
What would be a good architecture between the two servers, given that they ARE NOT IN THE SAME hosting infrastructure (SoftLayer is not a great option if you want alot of bandwidth)
If a user changes his photo on Server A which runs the site, somehow Server B must be notified and gets a hold of the new image..... what would be the most technically feasible and optimum way to achieve this?
I have a dedicated that is oversized for the task (Q6600, 8gig RAM, Sata Raid-10 array), which is running a medium/small vBulletin site.
I have thought about providing free image hosting for the members, so I could have 100-300 people hosting sig images and other graphics on the server, which they in turn would link into forums and other places which could create quite a few requests for those graphics.
Is there anyway to quantify what type of load this static, image hosting would create?
The server currently is typically around .05 to .1 server load with nearly flatlined CPU's.
I have a website built with asp .Net with MS SQL database. The website have some pages that uploads images and files in some folders.
I have tried GoDaddy shared Windows hosting. But they don't seem to allow file upload using a script.
Then I tried GoDaddy Virtual Dedicated. The tech guy told me MS SQL would be part of the hosting. Later I find he lied, there is no MS SQL as part of it.
I am trying to find an affordable hosting that has MS SQL and also allows file upload using script.
I am a application/systems developer looking for a VPS hosting provider that would allow me upload a customized xen image that I could use as a template for additional VPSs.
Does anyone know of a hosting provider that could do this type of thing?
i looking for the servers (powerfull and cheap) i take this post in vps forum 2 day's ago but i understand that it is better for me to take the post in dedicated forum my friend's :
1-vpn server(with many ip)-->with high transfer + good performance(for start)
2-server for starting image hosting (with high or unlimited transfer + 100mbps )+atleast 50_60gb h.d.d
is there anyone knows for a good hosting located in uk,which is allowed : adult site and casino betting online site ?
im looking for vps and dedicated server.
please help me i really need as soon as possible.thx
I recently changed my small image hosting website to a dedicated server.
My previous server was a cPanel.
Current server is Directadmin.
I've restored the database and files, however I've noticed that the URL upload (Where you input the URL to a image file, and the script grabs the image and reuploads on the server) doesn't seem to work.
Half of the admin panel is distorted and missing half of the options.
I'm trying to find at least three web hosting companies to choose from to host a Joomla websites on a shared server. Would consider dedicated if the deal was right. I have a friend of mine who wants to create a church website, and is looking for the best deal. I use Netfirms which I have never had an issue with, but I didn't want to be bias, and would like give him other options to choose from.
Is there a good WebHosting Review site, I could check out, or maybe someone could recommend their top three. I reading threw the forums here and I noticed there are not that many complaints with Hostgator. Again, I just want to see if there was anything out there better.
Purpose: I want to make my site load faster
Different Options Host images under the same domain - So no additional three way TCP handshake required.
Different subdomain for images - Browser pipelining can be utilized.
Different domain altogether - Browser pipelining can be utilize and also can avoid the site wide cookies with every request.
What is your opinion about this?
As somebody who has bought the 'Build Your Own ASP.NET 2.0 Web Site Using C# & VB' by CRISTIAN DARIE and ZAK RUVALCABA, I wonder what Hosting deals are considered the best and most user friendly (robust and support).
By this I mean, the most competitive for users like me who are just learning the technology and maybe want to set up some basic book examples online using SQL 2005.
i can host my web applications locally and my database connections are still intact but how can i host my web applications designed wit DW on a public server without the database connection being broken?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have looked far and wide for a hosting company that supports ASP.NET as well has SQL server (and that allows remote connections via MS Enterprise Man). I have used Godaddy for years, but trying to access a SQL or MySQL db for development is complicated and pathetic. I have looked at many new Hosting CO's, including m6,1and1,ixwebhosting,************,hostmonster,bluehost, and others mentioned here; but All I can find is dozens of reviews, mostly bad and very few good, on about ANY company that I google for except the ($20+) monthly ones. I have found a site called reliablesite.net, that interests me. (I am non profit org paying out of my pocket). I have seen good reviews but a couple that are very 'bad' for me, such as no sites hosted on this provider, no phone number or where the company is at. Any insights on the provider. I am needing an ASP.NET / SQL provider (low volume traffic). (I found a reliable ? discountasp.net but there price w/SQL is too high..) , so am looking at reliablesite.net. Just tired of looking at dozens of bad reviews on about any site I google for...

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm after some hosting for some adult content (nothing too bad!) as my current host won't allow it (no big loss, they're atrocious anyway)
Preferably something UK or US based, not too bothered either way as long as it's fairly reasonable in price and has a good service.
Not sure about bandwidth limits, to say the site is in it's early stages would be an understatement, but something flexible would be good.
Can anyone tell me which is the best site for website hosting ? i have used javascript 2 and html for coding. which is the best site ??
