I believe that they own their own servers. VB Forums is just one of the many sites they host on their group of servers. I dont know how much it costs them for internet access but it must be high as they have allot of bandwidth flowing through all their sites combined. I think they have somewhere in the range of 25-35 sites.
Yep, you can see all the sites here....

I don't know the answer to this and if I did, it most likely wouldn't be something we would post to a forum. I doubt any company would give you this answer.Quote:

We had around 29 FORUMS, although that may be one or two lower now (JPnyc could tell you exactly how many forums we have). The forums are a part of over 100 sites. I know the site count was around 160 at one point. Many of our newer sites are graphics sites(we are one of the top graphic companies now), so you can just image the bandwidth usage when you add those to the mix.....Quote:

JupiterWeb is a division of Jupitermedia (of which this site is part). I know I oversee with just developer sites and they see about 2.5 million unique visitors a month.
Brad!
163 sites :D See, then when you guys see all the Ads you should realize that this is how they can recoupe some of the costs involved in running all these sites. :)
Wow so we are just a small part of internet.com.
A small, but significant part of the Internet(.com).
I imagain it costs to employ Brad. I should think he must be good at his job because he still posts here ;)
