They're beautiful, those numbers! Does that come from a single site, or something that embeds across multiple, also how do you power that amount of traffic?


One single website.

17 Webservers (Apache+PHP) 4 Cache servers (Memcache+Redis) 2 Databases Clusters (MySQL+Sphinx): 1 Master + 3 slaves, 1master + 7 slaves.


Very nice! That's a very small setup for so many pageviews. Quite impressive. Shoot me an email sometime, I'd love to talk shop. [email protected]


Those would be the stats for what???

Yea, I don't think there are 50 sites out there that could boast those numbers.


Smokinn got it right. Stats that doesn't appear, we stream 1.2Billions videos/month (doesn't count embedded content).


What sort of infrastructure/hw/server software to you use for streaming?


Can you reveal any $ numbers; e.g. CPM, conversions to paid accounts, anything?


I am not affiliate with Manwin but found the article that was submitted here recently insightful. It partly deals with their operations:
