Who runs file sharing companes, like rapldeech and simliar

[tedjones]

If you run/own a company, I would be interested in learning a few things, I don't know much about it, and what is required on them, what software is needed and how to monitor/manage accounts I never managed windows servers only my customers have had them, I am interested in opening a new line of business for this though, if you got time and don't mind helping me I'd appreciate it.

Also is it pretty profitable? What do most users want, usa hosting or out of the country? What's the normal rates for what, and what does the average user use in bandwidth/space?

Thanks!

First point, Rapidleech is not a 'file sharing company'.

For some filehosts it's profitable, for others it isn't. Some stay, some disappear.

I think that it is very profitable for some people due to overselling, yep, loads of people do oversell. Almost everyone..

Most users would like USA hosting because they would get the best speeds to the paying hosts such as hotfile and fileserve. Most rapidleech plans has unlimited bandwith and is low on space. Usually 5GB should be enough if you delete the files when you're done with'em.
