People seem to forget that its not the hosting or domain that is expensive, its the ssd space. If you plan to host all the files on your server, you're going to need a lot of storage space

 

With $15, you'll be lucky to get around 30-40 gbs of storage

 

I have that all figured out? and where was $15 mentioned? jw

The most expensive part is bandwidth. Very difficult to find cheap servers where you can freely use 10TB+ a month. Especially with the kinds of files the service would get. And if you fuck up you'll be left with a hefty bill at the end of the month, or you'll get suspended. 

 

Like I said, I have solutions to all of these problems. Standard rates for bandwidth bottom out around $0.05 per GB. I can get 10% of that. But I guess OP has it figured out. Best of luck.

Well, if you opt to buy into cheap web hosting, you're going to run into that issue. Majority of hosting providers offer "unlimited bandwidth", which don't charge you if you overuse it. You'll just experience throttling. Which services charge you $$ based on bandwidth?

 

If you plan to be handling tb's of data, you shouldn't even be touching cheap hosting to begin with.

You wouldn't host the files with a web host. You pretty much have to either use a CDN or your own servers. Absolutely 0 web hosting providers that advertise unlimited bandwidth would allow you to use upwards of 10TB. At that point they won't throttle you, if you even made it that far, they'd terminate and probably charge you. 

 

Every provider charges for bandwidth. Whether they cap, charge overages, charge directly, or throttle all of them do it. Because at the end of the day they have a certain amount of bandwidth from their ISP. 20gbps datacenter links aren't cheap, and you can't be using 10% of their link while being 0.00001% of their revenue. And obviously for a file hosting service you can't get your servers throttled to 100mbps. 

 

iirc even OVH 100mbps servers that are "unlimited" cap at either 17TB or 10TB I can't remember exactly. Took me hours to find it in the correct ToS.
