You meant for 1k impressions? I thought per impression ) 1 impression = 0,001 - 0,03 for small filehost (depends on network and your visitors). Just don't annoy your visitors, they will just use other filehost. ;) I'd not use adfly, because you will get blocked on many forums. Thanks! $1CPM sounds ...

Lol that's what I hoped to hear by spelling it out.

Thanks. I think to start off I'll go with cloud hosting. That would keep my cost down and based on how it goes Xfs would allow me to add additional servers (any of the hosts from your recommendation). Now I gotta figure out how to montize because $0.05 per 1000 impressions is LOW! 50,000 downloads t...

Thanks! Can you shed some light on ratios? I am looking for a server configuration that would be a good start, but don't really know what to expect. Cloud hosting seems to be ideal as it is scalable. On average, for every 25GB of files that are hosted, would it be ok to assume the following? 2.5TB b...

Thanks. Can visits from a banned country not access the entire website or will it only show a"download not allowed" sort of message?

Can somebody explain the discounts to me, because they don't make sense if you ask me. If I select: URL Leech mod ($75) [?] Reports mod ($70) [?] Payment Gateways mod ($60) [?] Webmaster mod ($70) [?] It says: Total amount: $425 $400 (Discount: 9%) But the discount is not 9%. And if I add the social...

Thanks. I will base my calculations on $0.05 CPM then. It would be nice to be able to limit specific countries from downloading any files.

Thanks. What can you expect in eCPM for ads? Does $0.10 eCPM sound realistic? I prefer to be conservative. What about banning countries for which advertising networks don't pay for? Ie. don't let users from country X download your files since you don't get paid. Is that something that can be done wi...

Hi, I am thinking of setting up a file sharing site since I own downloading.co and wanted to have an honest opinion from people that run one. I don't mind investing to get the site started, but was wondering if the business model even works (ie. do I make money at the end of the month). I currently ...
