Corporate media hosting targeting us! - trisweb - 2007-02-16
Just recieved this e-mail from a guy from... well, you'll see...
Hello,
I attempted reaching you a couple of weeks back, however I was unable. Well, I will be brief and to the point. The company I am with is called Limelight Networks, and we could be a great fit for your website to deliver your rich media. We work with companies like X-Box Live, Youtube, Myspace, Valve Software, Dreamworks, Fox News and MSNBC. We have been able to reduce many of our client's cost from 20 to 40% and enhance the end-user experience.
Would you be available to discuss these matters further in the next week? I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind Regards,
-Brett
And, my response:
Hi Brett,
Currently we have no need for provided hosting of content on a large scale. While Zenphoto does offer a gallery solution, it is provided as an open-source product for users to install on their own hosting service or server. We don't host images, nor do we have any costs associated with hosting images. A 40% reduction in our cost would amount to eight dollars a month, and the end-user experience is pretty great already with close to zero server load.
When and if I decide to move zenphoto to a hosted environment, I may contact you, but I have no such plans at the moment.
Thank you,
~Tristan

Hehe, yeah, it was fun We're actually running close to zero cost, thanks to donations and advertizing. It's pretty great!

Hehe, yeah. I think I would use Amazon's S3 anyway ;-)
I don't even want to think about scaling PHP/MySQL to a paying userbase yet... geez.
