09/20/11(Tue)18:32 No.110928827>>110926950 As a vaguely internet-literate person, I have a few ideas of my own. Personally,
I think I could host a something like /v/ on a modest budget (but not
/b/). Slim down the HTML\CSS as much as possible, use a service like
cloudflare to mirror images (also makes a captcha redundant), add down a
couple of adverts and maybe a paypal donate button to try and recoup
costs. Shove the whole thing on a VPS somewhere, preferably one that
doesn't discriminate.
The host I'm with costs me 50p a month (no
kidding), and for that I get 60GB of bandwidth per month, of which I've
used 444mb (this month). It only loads about 50kb of stuff from my
server (because images, cs and js are loaded from cloudflare) when you
load the page, so all in all that's a lot of hits for very little money.
Not
everyone uses the weird design and hosting practices I do (I have no
idea if they would scale up for something as big as /v/) but I don't
think it's as big of a hassle as moot makes it out to be. |
