Yeah it has come up before: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/videoblogging/message/32910
Here is the quote from Andrew: >>>To provide a reference point for the conversation, Rocketboom currently uses 1 dedicated 100mbs server on Dreamhost to handle the database and webpages alone and 2 dedicated 100mbs servers on Datagram to host the videos and the images, for a total of a 300mbit/sec pipe size. The 2 datagram servers are mirror images (they both hold the same video and image files) and every single request for a video or image is alternated like a switch back and forth to each of the two servers. Our audience number is about 150,000/day of steady flow and every video now gets over 250,000 downloads (mostly reaching that number over the course of a few days). Last month we used 12 terabytes of data transfer on the two Datagram servers and not more than a Terrabyte on the Dreamhost server (mostly html and xml pages). <<< Bill Streeter LO-FI SAINT LOUIS www.lofistl.com --- In [email protected], "Enric" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > It's probably been mentioned before, but who is Rocketboom's web > hosting service? > > Thanks, > > Enric > > > --- In [email protected], Michael Sullivan > <sulleleven@> wrote: > > > > i've never had buffering problems on rboom. > > thats part why i am going to be using their web host ;-) > > > > > > On 2/6/06, andrew michael baron <andrew@> wrote: > > > > > > > > > On Feb 6, 2006, at 4:06 PM, Stan Hirson, Sarah Jones wrote: > > > > > > Did Rocketboom just go ahead and do a commercial while the eBay > auction > > > has hung itself up on the edge of a presumed reserve of $15,000?
