Re: Web hosting for big torrent site

Make sure your host knows you are going to run a tracker! There was a another vbulletin/tracker site that was suddenly shut down because the host suddenly realized they had a tracker and they didn't allow trackers.

As for traffic... we've had a bit over 18GB of traffic in the last 10 hours with about 10K users on the tracker. You can do the math there.

We were lucky with our host. As we grew, they just moved us up to better servers. We started out shared and went to dedicated after 4 months. Then a couple years later, we switched to a two server configuration which we are still currently using.
