    I'm thinking of starting an arcade game site. If you have some experience in this niche, please share your thoughts on how whether this is a worthwhile undertaking.

    I understand that you need a lot of bandwidth and storage space, and the competition is really fierce.

    Your recommendations?

    Thanks in advance.

    Those reasons alone seem like a good enough reason to stay out of that niche. However if you feel that you have something truly groundbreaking or big to bring to the table then by all means go kick some ass!

    Actually, I'm trying to leverage existing traffic from some of my other sites rather than starting from scratch. If visitors can exit one of my sites and enter my game site, I would keep them around longer.

    I realize that arcade sites are resource intensive. Does anyone know of a good hosting provider for a game site? I like hostgator, but I don't think their bandwidth and storage allowances are good for a game site.
