Best Image Host for Warez Sites

[RodneyTrot]

how does this make any sense to you?

You don't make sense, jacking people site's smh.

He's saying it's quite literally an image host that only stores images, but does not serve them. In which case, it's not even relevant to the entire thread.

No, I meant people only store them, they can share them and hotlink them if they wish.

Exactly, Rodney. It's when people actually start to hotlink them will you see the 'adverse' effects, so to say. That's what Jesse has been trying to tell you here. Hotlinking is not as easy as it appears to be. Hotlinking traffic is the kind you cannot monetize and it costs a lot to sustain.

[RodneyTrot]

Oh, I didn't know that's what he meant.. But surely there's servers out there that allow unlimited traffic? And I've yet to experience it, I'd rather see how it goes with hotlinking and see what they are like after a month or what ever after heavy traffic. It's just hard to get the traffic as everyone uses imgur etc.

Also I don't know if you know this, but I'm going to ask, how come imgur doesn't make any money but the likes of tinypic and photobucket do? Is it adds or packages? I know you had lulz, may I ask a personal question, how much was the server you was using so I can get an idea?

Unlimited traffic is not 'enough'. Once you start growing you'll realize that having unlimited traffic is far from your primary concern. Serving images is a resource intensive task; you have to take into consideration the software (web server), the hardware (drives), etc. My point being - once you start growing, you'll realize it's not as white and black as it appears to be from the outside.

Imgur does make money; they've never been in a loss, except once. They use ads, like anyone else. Ads and premium memberships. Lulz is hosted across 3 servers at the moment. They're used to serve the images and cost around $750/month to maintain.
