I have never considered going into download hosting, however one of the sites I am a staffer at is in need of such a service, therefore how would I effectively make a small downloads server type of site that would allow uploading of files by... oh... a select few, and monetize the visits and downloads so it will just pay for itself? If you have links to general info on what I'd need, startup costs, things like that along with general junkery that would be nice - this is alien territory to me, so I know not the information I would like... and rather than be misled by the things I looked up I am looking toward you with cold eyes and a ravenous smile to help. Don't worry, I don't bite. Basically just wondering startup costs, what servers, what scripts, what ads, etc etc. It's just for a community of folk who modify games and whatnot, so really, it doesn't need to be "ZOMG 200 TERRABYTES LAWL!!!!" big - and it needs to support itself money-wise. >.> <.< K.
