I still may make one for find a drug too

I ended up going with the folding@home program. I have used it in the past and was impressed I just put an article out about it and will be adding a link to the left of all the pages on the site about the team. http://www.testmy.net/articles/article-27 -- I hope you all join!

I will try and get on this tomorrow

Please alert me to any items of intrest that you guys think would be good news to show here.

awwwwww

Fixed... I completely removed comments and locked further registration ~~ it is meant for mods only.

I'm suprised they have lasted this long... Maybe they should have thought about broadband earlier than they did.... maybe they should have put less money in advertising and more money in quality of service...... MAYBE they shouldn have tried to sell people shit every time they tried to log into the internet "Would you like to buy a PRINTER today?" ---'ummmm, does it look like I'm tring to buy a printer... did I ask for a printer... I'm already paying you f*&^ers, can you let me at least sign in before bugging the f$@# our of me' :evil6:

I would, doesn't that just run only when your CPU is idle?

Yes it is... I will put it this way though... you have to spend money to make money. Per Googles terms of use I can't disclose any information about how much revenue the site makes, so I have to end this conversation If I wasn't making at least enough money to host the site I wouldn't be paying that much for hosting... and I for sure wouldn't have quit my day job. :evil6:

Trust me... I'm okay

Works fine now, but it was down for me too... hehe, I saw Yahoo down once too

Yeah, it's usually not worth it (cost wise) to run a server out of your house. In the US connections that have enough upload are just too expensive. Even FIOS (I'm sure of this) doesn't allow you to run a webserver from home, they most likely block port 80 and most other common web ports. This is what Charter, Cox Communications, Comcast and many other providers do unless you pay for the business class internet... and if you decide you want to not listen to them and say....... use another port like 8080 (some are blocking this) or just any other made up port that's not commonly used by anything and you get caught... they will ban you from their service. Renting or COLO is the way to go. What operating system do you use for your webserver?

It won't 'really' speed up ANY actual file downloading. I am currently looking into how to rework the test to get around this and other web accelerators. I would imagine I will be done by the end of the month, I'm a pretty fast scripter

go to dell.com ~~ they have very nice servers. I personally would just build one myself off newegg.com

You can always afford it if you get advertisers - But sites wit funny videos usually don't have the kind of payout that say a medical website or finacial site would have... But you should always at least be able to pay for hosting.

What games will you be hosting? Are you wanting to do this all on one server... and how many people will be connected to each game server at any given time.

hehe, I was just writing an article about that... http://www.testmy.net/article-15

Yep that would be no rpoblem. Just open your case and swap them. Your computer will auto detect it and there will be nothing to worry about - they will both have the same connections. -- very easy swap indeed

Last month I went through over 2TB (2000GB) of transfer. I can have up to 4TB without needing to buy another server. The servers I have are the following http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?c=us&cs=04&kc=6W300&l=en&oc=pe1850-max&s=bsd base price is $2,446 , 2nd processor is usually a 399 upgrade but right now it's free. -- so for the two servers I have it would have been about $5,000 but I'm renting the server so of course I didn't need to pay that. Also I have been with theplanet for quite a LONG time so they waived the $199 setup per server and gave me a little bit cheaper than their website says (I pay $408/month for both of my servers, and I have a few upgrades to my plan also). Which if you shop around you will see that I'm getting a pretty good deal. The hosting to the site went like this 1999 - 1st server - hypermart.net... free hosting (got banned because my site had too much traffic) 2000 free hosting as a partnership with an ISP (could no longer host me because I had too much traffic) 2002 - jiffynet.net - $5/month or some shit... server too slow. 2003 - servermatrix.com (a reseller for theplanet - cheaper servers) $79/month celeron 1.7GHz dedicated 2003 - theplanet.com total control 3.0GHz P IV $139/month 2004 - theplanet.com total control Dual XEON 2.4 215/month 2005 - theplanet.com total control Dual Xeon 2.4 (with SSCI) 225/month 2005 - theplanet.com total control Dual XEON 2.8GHz SSCI X2 server 408/month All the figures are estimates, and I have actually been through more servers (allot more) but gives you a rough idea what I've gone through when it comes to hosting... but as you can see with success comes issues with how to host it -- but it's cool, it's a write off. :evil6: Dude, if I could run this out of my house I would. That would be SICK! To have a connection that fast at my house. But I think it would cost about $16,000/month to get a connection fast enough to host this site... a bandwidth testing site relies on it's connection for accuracy... as you might imagine. That would rock though! What are you going to be doing with the server? I may be able to show you what you would need to get the job done without over spending... trust me I have done allot of shopping when it comes to server, I know my shit

I pay alot... lol actually 1GB ram... I need to edit that, I ened up getting different servers. prices at http://www.theplanet.com/ -- I got the SSCI servers 2X P2800SL's
