How much bandwidth would this consume?
 

I need a bandwidth estimate on a paysite that gets approximately 50k uniques per day. Trailers will total approximately 36mb. Site is 100% video, and will have appropriate bandwidth slurp caps in place of approximately 2gb per day in the members area.

Anyway, I'm just wondering how much bandwidth I'll likely be consuming.

Any guestimates?

Bits or Bites?

Mbps... I'm assuming I'll need a dedicated server.

good luck with this

50k uniques a day paysite? thats a lot of traffic

No it isn't. I suppose it's all relative.

Hit the guys up at www.pacificrack.com (no affiliate link from me), even if it's just for information.

I use them for a site that gets 30K uniques per day, with no videos whatsoever, and even that burns 15gb per day with inline image zipping in place.

50k uniques to the tour, to the join to the members area - big difference.

I'd just look for a flexible plan that allows more bw for the same rate. Seems you would need a dedicated and what 20-60 Mbps

50,000 uniques to a pay site tour is pretty massive. If all of that was clicked traffic... wow. Are you buying exit traffic?

200- 300 gb a day? maybe more. for the tour alone....


members area depends on how much content you have and your members return rate and then of course how many galleries and such. it s a lot thats for sure.

A shit load

9.95$ virtual hosting with unlimited bandwidth ;)

Good luck Kandah, let us know when you get the site online btw ;)

that's a lot of bw ...

Xenigo,

we would be happy to work with you on coming up with a strong bw estimate for this project. Please hit me on email or ICQ and we can discuss this further. thanks!

at least 50 mbps, i guess... 1 mbps is around 330GB of data...

oh, and look at the post above mine. i would recommend natnet for sure! :thumbsup
