Is this bandwidth worth it?

[Cule]

Hey there ,
I was wondering if anyone knows if this is expensive or not?
How fast does the 10tb of bandwidth last?
I've got like 500 video views as of right now , on adult website. Please let me know

for adult site, 10tb is nothing. i would go for 400tb minimum

Yes but i plan on buying more as site grows

Buy the one that your budget can handle and then monitor traffic to the site and scale accordingly to traffic needs.

What site is that? I mean, I would gladly use that if I had 10tb to back up. Depends on the use case ultimately.

What do you mean? Also how long would that 10 tb bandwidth last?

It's simple to do the maths. What's your average watch time? How big are the videos? How much visit do you get per day?

~1.5 gb average , 1 min watchtime , video views around 500 for now

Also, how long are those files in terms of minutes? Lol.

Realistically, a 4k video should consume something around 5-6 gb per hour. So, around 100 mb per minute. If you have 500 visitor with 1 minute watch time in average, you should consume around 50gb per day, and 1.5tb in a month.

Remember, this is average; not high. So, around 4-5 tb should be enough for you per month.

Having fixed bandwidth is a bad solution to be honest. Look into auto scaling to save more money as you scale up. AWS has that for example.

I see , I was looking at a lot of providers for video stream and I saw that doodstream. com is pretty good etc.. But in order for me to put ads and remove their logo from the player I need the premium bandwidth. If you've got any good alternatives let me know. I was thinking about making my own streaming site but I think its too early for that.

Umm sorry. May be wait for someone who is in this niche to reply. The player itself Shouldn't be a problem. You could just use the html5 player. However, protecting your content from piracy can be challenging. That's something the big guys are still trying to solve.

Did you check your dashboard to see the daily bandwidth of your site? You can put your own ads , ad-free when you buy premium bandwidth from them . If you care about user experience , I think you should go for it .
