Q. Question? I'm renting a (virtual) dedicated server from Gandi.net with the OS 'Debian 5'. I uploaded the files via Filezilla FTP. How do I run a .bat file (a game server)?

A. Best Answer: .bat is a batch file which runs under Microsoft operating system (MS-DOS, Windows etc) and therefore won't work on a Linux OS such as Debian. You should check the game server's website or forums for how to run it under Linux.

Q. Question? hey guys, here is a link that explains why I'm asking the question, that was a question I asked earlier today. you don't have to read it, if you're in a hurry

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;?

This is the question for now if you skipped the other one, I will be grateful though if you answer both.

What are the daily expenses of youtube and how much does it make per day?
What is the hosting system which is used? cdn? dedicated servers? cloud hosting?.... and which is the best for such sites?
How much does youtube have to pay each month on everything: stuff, hosting.....and What about the profit?
Please give as much explanation as possible.
I picked youtube because I want to know how big is the budget of such sites and precisely youtube because theoretically it spends more money on hosting then the other because it is a video hosting site. If there is any site which has more expenses than youtube other than google than answer the same questions about that site and forget about youtube.
If you're wondering why do I ask such question please take a look at the link above in case you didn't.

I have 2 more questions but you don't have to answer them if you've had enough.

How much money does it take to start such sites?

And where to find investors for such sites? Are banks ready to invest in such projects or do you have to look for wealthy individuals?

Thank you

I did a research and found that wiki talk about google platform
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_plat?
but no one talks about youtube

A. Best Answer: Most of that information is obviously proprietary & private. Some may be available in Google's stock reports, either their 10-K or annual reports, since Google owns YouTube

To read it, go to google's corporate site

Also, your links don't work. You need to provide the entire url. To copy a link, right-click it & select Copy Link Location or Copy Shortcut, depending on your browser.

Q. Question? Could I just use regular hosting that's designed for websites(eg-http://www.hosting24.com/)? I want to host a server for Mount&Blade:Warband.

A. Best Answer: I don't think you can do that with regular shared hosting. You will need a dedicated server to host online games. Try http://bestdedicatedserver.org for a good list of dedicated hosting. Good luck.

Q. Question? I own a ps3 and i hear alot of talk on games like mw2 about dedicated servers but i have no clue what they so can someone explain in detail please thanks.

A. Best Answer: A DEDICATED SERVER is a server with a specific role. e.g. a dedicated file server would purley allow all computers that can comunicate with each other to acess, store and retrive files from the server. a server is a centrelized communcation station.

so for the matchmaking server ( mw2 sever) there HUGE!!!!! server would carry out the tasks of running & ORGANISING online games e.g. putting millions of players in different games in diffrenet times. when you join a game you send a request to the server saying " I want to play free for all!" and the server picks up up and drops you in a lobby for of free for all players but it does this for millions at a time for all different games.

it requires some seroius powerful processing and thats why sometimes people have connection time outs due to the amount of stress being put on the sever!

Q. Question? I have 2 friends that play Left 4 Dead using steam - one being abroad
yet when i host a friends only best dedicated server we keep getting players who aren't on any of our friends lists despite being a friends only match

Are we going wrong somewhere?
but please don't waste my time with cheap answers or ones that are irrelevant

A. Best Answer: the friends only thing really doesn't work, you can set it up originally as friends only, but after that, pretty much anyone can join in. At least, that's what happens to me, so i'm assuming that's how it works.

Q. Question? Hi there. I have an online Multilayer Mafia site
http://themafiafamily.net

I have problems with server load issues and I've been kicked of the server 3 times. I've optimized the site allot using my Java, using caching and cleaning up the PHP. However since it has a forum it still causes high server load...

What server would you suggest for me to use so I could use high cpu usage without any problems... VPS, Dedicated.. Who knows?

A. Best Answer: if you have outgrown shared then go dedicated and then you'll have full control

Q. Question? It appears a customer using the same host as me on the same server (shared hosting) has caused that servers mail server IP to be blacklisted.

My host is telling me it isn't that easy to find out who has caused the spam, and the only way around is to upgrade to either a dedicated IP or a dedicated hosting package.

Is this right, or should they be able to find out who has caused the problem. I don't like the idea of having to pay for something when its the fault of someone else.

Thanks in advance.

A. Best Answer: Change the MX records to Google Apps mail servers.

Q. Question? hi, can someone recommend a good website hosting company please, one based in the uk if possible?

also, i have a website i've designed and would like it on the net, do i need virtual hosting, dedicated server etc??? also, what does a reseller do???

thanks in advance for the answers

A. Best Answer: Check out the recommended web hosts at http://buywebspacetoday.com/ -- these are established companies who offer quality hosting at affordable prices. For your purposes, you should get a shared hosting ("regular" hosting) plan. The others are more expensive, and it looks like you don't really need their extensive features. By the way, a reseller plan allows you to resell a bulk web hosting plan to your own customers. It's like buying a pie and selling the slices to different people.

Q. Question? Hey.

I am just doing some research and was wondering, what kind of website is reed.co.uk is it CMS?

And how much do you think it costs to run per month, apart from hosting what other things do you think they use, a dedicated server etc?

Thanks.

A. Best Answer: this site has been built with ASP.NET cause the post fixes of the pages are .aspx , but never think about the visual studio :D it is a SHAREPOINT web site;

sharepoint is an ms.office program which is designed to make pages under asp.net and ajax also to create and manage Flows;

learning of the sharepoint is easy and you can get any page costume in visual studio cause they are .net base;

and about a question for the dedicated server I must tell you that you do not have to but a dedicated server for your web site;

there are lots of servers on the net which give you free space and you can upload you site there; for example webfree.com or freespace.com ; for more site search the great google ;D

or you can rent virtual servers ; they are mostly 100$ to 1000$ every year base on the features they have;

thank you > choose it as your best answer ;)
