Hello,
I just recieved an email from a game developer who wishes to host their game client on my site for download. They asked how much I will charge, and to be honest I'm not really sure. I would assume that the bandwidth required would be a lot since video game clients tend to be failry large, and I anticipate a fair amount of downloads.... plus if the client was updated, I think i would have to update the client as well.
I'm wondering if i should agree to it, if so, how much I should charge, or if I should just stick to plain old banner advertising and leave it alone.

Really depends on the hosting package you have set up for them, if you are worried about bandwidth on that particular site....
If you've developed a site for them, you could tell them to keep a separate domain for the download files and link them from the site you've developed.
The site you've developed will use bandwidth for the content that's on it, the downloads will be taken from their site / domain. - Thanks,
jim

- Actually, "host" might have been the wrong word. They want to place their client available for download on my site where their game description is. I just asked them to tell me the size of the file and make an offer. It's new territory for me so I'm not sure how this will go. I hear that podcasts go somewhere around 50$ per 1000 downloads or something of the sort...

It all depends on what your host (where you have the site) will allow.
Some host allow unlimited bandwidth, others don't, so it really depends on your hosting package. - Thanks,

I have the essential VPS package with Servint @ 50$ per month.
30 GB Disk Space
1 TB Monthly Transfer
768 MB Guaranteed (1.5 GB Burst RAM)
My site gets only about 100k impressions a month but we are top listed in the term the company is targetting. My guess about how many downloads a month are as good as anybodies...
So I guess the best question to ask is, how much would you charge under these conditions? - MMOFPS games: www.massivefps.com | Extension Templates: www.extensiontemplates.com
