Admin Notice: Server hosting and denial of service attack

uhhh
How much traffic make the disco main server pro month?
:unsure:

Based on the old not-updated usage graphs linked on the wiki, I'd say a fair guess would be around 380-450 Gigabyte traffic pr month, just for gamerelated traffic.

Colocation hosting of a server would not be that expensive - But the traffic charges pr month could be high, depending on the traffic charging plans the colocation provider has.

Some colocation hosts has a fixed tariff for domestic traffic, another for european traffic and a third for international traffic, making the monthly running cost a bit difficult to calculate in advance.

Others have a fixed flatrate trafficplan charged in bulk based on the number of expected Gigabytes of data transferred, and trust me, those plans are never priced to the customers advantage.

So making a pay by month plan for using Disco is a bit difficult - Either someone has to spring the dough in advance, or cover the potential discrepancy between donations/subcsription fees each month. So if any of you have a hidden stash of moolah, now is the time to put it to use;)
