Hosting Bandwidth
Hosting Bandwidth
well,im moving to berlin soon and decided to start hosting to get some euros in my pocket as i kno php mysql and server/networking stuff and i have some clients that i can host...im asking how fast my internet speed should be ? a DSL could do the job ? cz ill be staying in the berlin's university dorms and i dont think i can purchase fiber optic connection...
check the university's policy on file-sharing/hosting. Sounds like you are stuck with their network - hence their TOS. I am sure they already know about students hosting files on dorm networks.

I know Swan, and limiting the bandwidth for every site would be a must for him if he wants to host multiple sites...actually it's even pretty easy to do with an Apache module:

BB,
is that what you do? Do you have the limiting feature on ALL your sites, or just in one central location?
OP:
Id STRONGLY recommend you famialrise yourself with German E-law concerning your liability for hosting, which is rather harsh I am afraid. If you require any advice on the EU perpsective of it, Ill be happy to help. (that goes for you to BB).

To the wicked, I am merely too knowledgeable in their ways.
Well i was checking the internet for german ISPs and 1und1 seems a fast IPS link here.
with 50 Euro i could have a 16000kbit/sec internet wich is amazing... as for the german law:couple of sites could have nulled scripts and hackint content...could this lead to some law problems ? cz idk about germany but here in lebanon everything is allowed lol

@swan:
nope, the server has a 100Mb connection, which is enough....
@tonit:
I am not 100% sure, but I think the 1&1 flatrate has just a 1MB upload rate, would be not really enough for hosting multiple sites imo (but ok, depends on how well frequented they are)...
and I highly recommend to stay away from hosting "nulled scripts" and any other stuff that violates copyrights....ok, the danger is not that big like with mp3s, but IF you get caught it can get pretty expensive. hosting "hacking stuff" is a grey area...it is not really allowed anymore (scanners, trojans, etc.), this is why all big german hacking sites have left german servers and moved to countries like the Netherlands....look here for an example:

but I am not aware of a case where someone was sued for hosting such stuff yet.
