On a related note, what's a good place to host a high-bandwidth server? We want to host a backend for gaming, with video interspersed.


http://digicube.fr/rapidserveurs 1gbps with unlimited traffic start at 25e. I've been hosting an irc server with them now for just under a year; and it's been down once for 2 hours due to a power failure. Downside is everything is in French.


http://interserver.net

$40 per month for an Atom based server (which is surprisingly capable). They have an advertised traffic quota, but in my experience they don't check how much traffic you've used. I used to run a file host on boxes from Interserver - I used to push about 60TB per month over 3 boxes.


We do a lot of game/video hosting. http://www.constant.com

One thing to check is that some of the budget hosts will oversell their networking in such a way where your port links at one speed, but you're unlikely to ever see that speed for long periods of time.


i dunno if its still true, but at one time imgur was hosted with http://www.100tb.com/ if my memory serves. Cant hurt to look at what other high-bandwidth applications use.


Shameless plug: we are about to launch http://bandwidth.io, specializing in high-bandwidth dedicated server hosting.
