tooty Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 It seems like it would cost a sh1t balls amount of money and he doesn't have any ads. So, what, does he pay out of his own pocket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennethToronto Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Um, webspace and a domain name are really pretty cheap. Actually, it's the opposite. NSLookup on the the premed101 domain points it to a company called RealWebHost (which I think is co-located in Alaska). A forum like this, running at times with a peak load of over 1000 users means it's likely running on a dedicated server (shared hosting could not handle the load) and so it's at least ~$150ish/month in hosting costs based on the prices at realwebhost. Just my guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my guess Interesting! You can go cheaper, I have set up similar sites with costs much lower than that. Still this site is pretty stable etc so it is being done well! Silly question, but other than the webmaster of this site, who is Ian Wong? I always wondered how this site was set up/maintained Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan0105 Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 contrary to popular belief it does NOT take a ****load of money to run a website, especially one where the most advanced feature is a php powered forum. I ran one for 3 years and it was about $350 for the three years, and i was paying more than the minimum because I wanted ssh access (something you don't really need). you only run into bandwidth trouble when you start streaming video (ie porn). Ohh and that 150/month estimate from realwebhost is only an issue if you want your OWN server, but that really isnt necessary. Most people get a "virtual" host, where there are like 50+ websites all running from the same server, and as such your cost is split /50+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
