Well, the way things are going, i'm going to have to purchase a Dedicated server just to host ZA >.< , not even DDL.
This is how much the best deal costs me
--> $120 setup + $110 per month
But it's not very good and the hosters rather unknown. The best deal the hosters we have atm [that are good as we havent gone down much
] is :
Any server from here :
https://www.staminus.net/ [inc setup fee]
plus $100 setup , plus $50 per month. <-- Management costs [basically to make sure ZA stays online, someone needs to monitor our server 24 / 7, to protect us from DDOS attacks ]
Needless to say OUCH >.< , but fear not too much, I already saw this coming about 1 month ago , as we were nearly shoved on a dedi box until I installed a cache system on ZA and I starting putting ads all over the place. The most annoying being those news feeds [yeah they're ads :P] but they pay damn good ^^
Basically , ZA gets 5 dollars a day with ads
[I only started the video thing yesterday.. but from what I got today that's our revenue, i just hope it doesn't go down. ]
5*31 -->$150
anyways, looking at the servers
https://www.staminus.net/?link=servers
This one looks the best :
Intel Pentium4 2.6 1024MB 80GB 1200GB -- $125.00
I'd really like to have 2GB of ram to make sure we don't have any problems, but can't seem to find anything for that :P .
Anyways, that means we need hmm.. soon... $125+ $100 for next month
, on top of that AniTube's VPS [50$] got terminated cos of DDOS attacks.. meaning i still have to pay for that >.>
Well this is pritty annoying >.< , I'm not rich
and I can't rely on ads much as they may fluctuate.
We can only wait and see ppl, once again we have server problems.. though I never imagined we'd need a dedicated server just to run this site & AniTube .. I miss the days when we were on free hosting
