Michael Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 First of all i would like to introduce myself to the forum officially. I have known this site for a very long time, yet because of a busy schedule i have been unable to contribute in any way. However i am now eighteen and am creating a new bank account because i plan to venture on an idea very shortly, which is why i need some advice about some basic stuff.I plan to design and build a website to help me with my Tuition fees for university which at the moment looks like it will be £30 000 for 3 years. ($60k).My website in theory will only consist of images and links to to other sites. I have estimated with research that i would have 40 thousand hits -+20 thousand hits a day. This was after creating a placebo site and advertising on video sharing sites.How much money would i need to sustain 50 thousand hits a day on a low - medium graphic website? And what kind of Server host would be required?Also if anyone knows a website which has a good reputation for creating websites with html can you help me out? i have tried google-ing but havn't found anything particularly worthwhile. Thank you in advanced, from a long time admirer - Michael.P.S. i am a very very quick learner but only with good resources >.>. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 What kind of site were you thinking of making?This sounds very similar to: http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com/The guy had the same idea (tuition fees) and decided to sell 1 million pixels at $1 each.

Michael Posted July 15, 2007 Author Share Posted July 15, 2007 I Don't know if it's taboo really but an adult material site where i would be hosting images linked to where you can download the file from another server where you get X money for every 1000 downloads.

Michael Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 Thank you for your reply Lee, i shall PM you in a few days after i have purchased a name, and finished the finer details of my site. However i did want advice on the other kind of services out there to do with web hosting, like for example what sites are poor examples of web hosting and the kind of lingo that goes with this industry. All the same thank you for the replies so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
