I run anyhub.net which runs on two Intel Atom based dedicated servers. I serve about 50 TB of data per month and it costs me exactly $110 each month which I easily make back from Adsense.

The same would cost me tens of thousands on Amazon or other 'cloud' services.

About how much can you make on adsense with a web app like yours?

Where do you host?

InterServer

How would you rate their network? I have a few sites that need bulk content serving stuff with minimal code, and these prices can't be beat for 100mbps uplink..

It's brilliant, one of my servers does about 90mbps around the clock.

They advertise a 6TB transfer limit, but I've been with them for almost 2 years now and they don't seem to enforce it.

I'd totally recommend them to anybody.

Also, if you're looking to save cash, an Atom CPU is surprisingly capable. At any given point in time both of my servers would have about 700 active HTTP connections each.

What are you using to serve the files/what does your stack look like?

The main app is an ASP.NET MVC application on IIS. The download server is an nginx proxy cache running on Debian.

Well, they offer 30TB transfer for U$300 a month, so you're getting a pretty good deal. Your setup would cost upwards of U$500 normally.

Anyone knows similar solution on the other side of the pond(Europe)?
