>3PB

$200 a month usually. pretty cheap desu

cloudfare doesn't change for data bandwidth unless you go over 1.8PB a month which you need to speak to them about a suitable plan

>>57275759
90k with aws, but gook uses something cheaper

read the post on 4chin's blog

How many ads would the jewish samurai need to display to break even?

doesn't /g/ claim 1tb cost like 1 cent so 100tb is only like 1 dollar a day

>>57275910
There would need to be more ads than posts, which is why 4chan has never made money.

kek if he wasn't such an idiot he would just host it from a home server

I can get a 10 gbits connection for $600/month, that's almost 26 PB of data which would be more than enough.

whoa wait a second when did they move to AWS? What happened to the mac mini cluster

>Why did you buy the website if you didn’t already know all this

good question senpai

>>57275987
thats retarded but if you know about what your demands are and your demands dont change drastically, the obvious solution is buying a couple of actual servers and coloing it or running your own servers. it is common knowledge at this point that dedicated servers are always more cost effective compared to the costs associated with aws

>>57275862
I guess that's only like 54,000 4chan passes to pay for the year.

It's just not possible this website uses 90TB a day from primarily text based communication with some fucking pictures and a few videos.

>>57276019
totally possible 4chan is top 100 website or something.

>>57276011
not to mention it will definitely perform better than whatever xen/kvm hypervisor they use with EC2. If they were using dedicated ec2 instances ala dedi servers but still using AWS thats full retard

>>57275862
Should just host the images on imgur and link directly to them from here. Let those faggots deal with the costs.

>>57276019
/pol/ and /b/ are huge. Also /gif/ and /wsg/ use a lot of bandwidth.

This is bullshit. If there is a cost problem hiropuki should pull back on the new boards and the archives and the other bullshit. He has to be transperent about what the costs, why they are increasing, what he has done to reduce the costs and why we should help and by how much. I'm not going to support this faggotry. He is literally asking for a blank cheque to extort all the money out us who care about 4chan

>>57275862

>you can know the price by assuming the wrong price

wew lad

>By migrating to the new domain, end users now save roughly 100 KB upstream per page load, which at 500 million pageviews per month adds up to 46 terabytes per month in savings for our users. I find this unreal.
That was 2 years ago.

>>57275987

Your ISP tells you to fuck off if your traffic is too much. Unlimited Internet is never actually unlimited.

gookmoot is a gook nigger
aws bandwith costs a fortune compared to actual backbone providers like l3,he etc.

>>57275959
yes.
How does that saying go again, was it /g/ was never wrong?

Oh wait it's /pol/ was always right.

They should spend money upfront on building their own servers then colocating them in data centers. It'll be cheaper in the long run and would probably cost $15k/month

>>57276146
/pol/ is always right, but they are also always wrong.

>>57275862

Netflix probably uses 3 PB every hour holy shit.

>>57276147
>>57276147
ops image says that 4chan doesnt use aws

also, 4chan itself only has a one time cost. most of the high bandwidth stuff (images, webms, etc) are on 4cdn backed by cloudflare. cloudflare will pull the image the first time and just serve the image to everyone else from its own cache

>>57276201
then mook is doing fine, if he wants to reduce cost he can make webp and webms the only upload formats allowed.

Tell the userbase that starting on March 2017 jpg, gif and png will be banned except for that photography board and that only webm and webp will be allowed.

>>57276063
More than EIGHTchan with their fucking 10mb jpgs?

Goot has added new clickbait ads.

>>57275910
Around 1 million separate ads if he gets $0.1/thousand views. So if the site manages to show at least 5 ads to a single person he'd break even if there were 200'000 lurkers without adblock every day. But almost everyone blocks ads, and lots of people here are phone posters with an app like Clover. Those apps don't show ads at all.

>>57276244
It has nowhere near the same amount of traffic 4chan has.

You all know chinese moot is just causing drama to drum up more income right? There's nothing wrong with the hosting costs. You're all being trolled

>>57275759
> 100 TB per day
> only html and optional maximum 4 MB per pic
seems legit

what if they use imgur or other services for multimedia? it will be then less 1 TB/day. Even Facebook doesn't host gifs

>>57276433
You have to pay imgur after you upload so many images.
Not sure if it applies here. Probably, they don't want to take an extra fucking 3~PB/mo

>>57276447
they don't have to use the api themselves. Just like reddit, upload it yourself and post the link on 4chan

>>57276458
Then, it would't be called imageboard.

>>57276069
>new boards cause bandwidth problem

Again with the illiterates. Stop posting.

>>57276244
4chan is more than 100x the size if not more in terms of bandwidth traffic

I doubt that site breaks 1TB per month

There's a post floating around of 2ch users talking about how mook is using the same tactics on us that he used on them. Apparently the whole '[site] is dying' trick isn't new and mook has gotten in trouble in Japan's courts for selling user data or something.

>>57276782
That's great and all but no one seems to post these mysterious court documents.

>>57276043
So I almost always use the embedded link posting (or whatever the name is) that 4chanx has, does that still mean 4chan hosts it?

>>57275862
How much when you consider 80% is fronted by Cloudflare?

>>57276731
new boards = more visitors = more threads = more images = more threads archived

>>57276019
They probably download the contents of your hard drive and sell it to ad companies and put on like they are broke to cover up whats really going on.

>>57276019
That's 115 TB a day not 90. You add the lines together.

>>57276782
That's revisionist history. The "site is dying" trick was because of his legal fees due to people doing illegal stuff on 2ch and hims being accountable for it. In fact, the whole "the site was stolen from me by this american guy!" fiasco was a charade to make it look like he wasn't culpable for the site. Recently, he even intentionally lost an international court case regarding the "ownership" of the site, just to get away from any future legal troubles 2ch might have under japanese law.
