outsource search engine?
I'm working on a a search engine project, it involves the use of spider crawler software to crawl the web and record web content etc etc . You know how it works, google etc...
I currently live in Austalia. Data is *extremely* expensive here. Data for business use costs US$60 to US$80 per GB downloaded. What does it cost in the US?
hosting fees are VERY expensive also. The hosting solutions are not very good either, the US and UK offer far more superior products and services.
So.... I'm basically looking at outsourcing the entire server hosting & downloading of content. Are there any hosts out there that allow the *downloading* of content? We are not leeches, we are happy to pay for the data downloaded. How much does data cost in the US? It would probably have to be a Windows server so that it could run our crawler software.
Thanks.
