How much Rapidshare would have been earning per month?

What do you think guys ...... what would be there monthly income of rapidshare ?
Also which one gets more traffic .com or .de?

Just curious to know

 

com gets definitely more traffic.

Not sure about the income, though.

 

.com is #11 .de is #283 acc. to Alexa

It is very hard to guess but with that kind of traffic, they must be making very very serious money.

 

com for sure. How do they earn money?

 

Premium accounts and advertising.

 

Premium subscriptions

 

.com is more famous and their alexa rank is so low, can't really say about earnings

 

6 number figures, no less.

 

.com for sure

 

In that amount they must be owning there own datacenter to host these files!

 

They'd be earning more per month then I earn per year

 

They are the #11th site of the internet ffs, it's quite ordinary they make millions.

 

"In that amount they must be owning there own datacenter to host these files!"

Why they need to ? It will reduce expenses and that's it.

 

I wonder how many server they have to store all those files

 

that s gud question
i think like 100-200

 

With 210 Gigabit/s of Internet connectivity and 4.5 Petabytes of storage, RapidShare is one of the biggest and fastest web hosters world wide.

 

I'm not sure in figures but they're making a s*itload of money for sure.

 

100 - 200 servers, wonder what their specs.
