What percentage of your profit goes to hosting?
 

Is it around 20%, more, or less?

Of the gross ? I put my hosting in expenses ... I don't use profits money for it. Depending waht project it range from 0,5 to 25 %.

if i said 1% it would be a HUGE over estimate.

maybe .0001.

Im serious too.

Well if you had to relate your hosting costs to your profits what kind of percentage would you come up with?

less than 1% in my case.

do you use a lot of images? or more text?

Seems like he's a designer... that'd explain it

LOL nope, i couldnt design a thing. The places in my sig are friends sites.

Yes i use mostly text.

less than 1%, i dont give away content for free.

Hosting is a very very very small percentage of our costs, and doesn't take a big chunk out of what we make. Then again, our camfeeds are hosted for free by other people who resell them so all we pay to host are pics, videos, and text.

Profit is what you make after all of your overhead is cleared. :2 cents:

However, I think you meant, "What percentage of your overhead goes to hosting?". If you meant profit then the answer is 0%. If you meant total gross or overhead then I would say about 5%. I have overhead when it comes to the T1 circuit I purchased and the other bills I have to pay to keep it going.

if it goes to hosting it isnt profits.

I don't know the exact %, but I pay 9.95/month and that's it

5% of the gross

10% unfortunately :(

but hey, it's the cost of doing business!

you guys know what i mean...

We knew what you meant but it scares us that you didn't know what you meant. :2 cents:

30%, i fucking kill bandwidth!

Edit: I actually dont use all the bandwidth. But shit grows fast so i just get it in advance so i dont have to shop around later. Its a fucking pain in the ass to move servers.

i am a business major those are all pretty simple concepts. i didn't mean profit...

That's a scary thought. No offense, but you learn about profit, margins, overhead, gross, and etc. in your first 2 years of college in Macro and Micro Eco classes. You don't have to be a business Major to know shit like that. :2 cents:

My Undergrad studies taught me pretty much everything I wanted to know about business, the rest is just common sense.

Was it a typo? If so, then I apologize for coming down on you like an anal professor or something. :winkwink:

yea no shit, i learned about all of that a few years ago also. maybe you didn't see where i said "i didn't mean to say profit." but you can go ahead and hold it against me and my business knowledge if it makes you feel better...

fair enough... :thumbsup

About 1-2% of gross income I would say.

Edit... :winkwink:

how do I go about answering this question...

what kind of sites though?

SEO sites.

Out of X amount of dollars I bring in a month, about 1.6% goes to my hosting costs.

(based on last month's numbers)

1-2 days worth of income each month goes to hosting

lol, took me a second to get that...

That's pretty wide open. Sticky doesn't know if you make $100 a day or $10,000 a day. I'm pretty sure he is looking for something a little more specific. :2 cents:

seems like he makes a lot...

actually, you can't really tell from what he said though lol...

Go back to your child not born thread. What the hell are you doing here? Who the fuck buys a "T1" any more? Get with the program 1.5 mbits on a "T1"
I got one for you how about an OC48? Another anachronism.
Maybe you should get DWDM for some real bandwidth. I think you are full of shit. What the fuck are you posting your crap here if you are going throug a personal tragety? You are lower than the lowest layer of prehsitoric frog shit at the bottom of a New Jersey scum swamp!

Thank you . . . .now, if the question was what percentage of my profits come from hosting . . .

damn man that's taking shit a little too far you fucking prick. :mad:

Name the movie!

Ya BP hosting and mailing servers aren't cheap

:disgust

By the way, dickhead. I bought my T1 circuit 3 1/2 years ago...back when you were still jerking off to Victoria Secret's catalogs and 2 years before you graduated high school, you fucking punk! You have me REALLY FUCKING PISSED OFF at your comment. I really want to kick your fucking face in right now.

Well gee I don't know what to say except upgrade your plan dude. Don't really remember jerking off to VS and you have no idea when I graduated HS. What did I say that has you so pissed off?

I don't care when you graduated from HS. You could have graduated in '45 and I would give a rat's ass, you fucking mouth breather.

You don't know what you said to piss me off?!?!!? By that statement, I would assume that you NEVER graduated from HS because you're too fucking stupid to see what's right in front of your fat fucking face. Based on your profile you were born November 27, 1965. That sucks that you're that old and fucking lonely. Wait, no it doesn't. I don't care if you're my "elder", if I ever see you in person I will punch you in the fucking face. Bank on it.

20% but I'm underutilizing my servers... If I wasn't it would be under 10%.

Rob this person obviously has mental issues...

Thats just fucked up.

blah blah blah, shouln't you be grieving?
Oh I get it I said you were full of crap and that pissed you off.
Thanks for the education.
Hope you solve all of your problems with violence. Maybe you should kick yourself in the face
