I guess that wouldnt work. lol.

Thing is, the servers use hardly any CPU time, it's all in the RAM and the HDD access speeds.
The 100mbps uplink would do nicely though!

You'd need more than a 10mbps uplink if you're to be fast consistently definitely.

I reccomend the purchaser drop 4 of the current ServerMatrix servers and continue with them, as they're nice and reliable!

This would considerably increase the profitability of the site!

If your making $700 profit a month with the potential to increase this, plus the fact the site takes hardly any time to maintain. I don't see why you wouldn't just keep it. __________________ Add your web design or hosting company to my Hosting Directory. Register to post on the forums.

I need a lump sum unfortunately, otherwise I'd love to keep the site myself.

Not a huge amount of search engine traffic currently, mostly it seems to be "IMGspot" as the main keyword, and a few from "Free image uploads".
Definitely an avenue for getting even more traffic

If so, how much funds have you generated from donations alone? __________________ Add your web design or hosting company to my Hosting Directory. Register to post on the forums.
