This is really weird for me they pay $25-40 per 1000 downloads?
And the server cost.
How does filehost get money to pay that much?

I know

Premium
Ads (Not Sure)

To be very frank even I have always wondered the same. Filehosts pay out like hell every week, they have to pay for the server costs keeping in mind they have 100's of servers, they have to pay all their staff. Also don't forget they have to pay the referrals too. I don't really understand how the numbers work out.

Definitely they make profit else they wouldn't have been online thats a fact. But how do they do it even I would like to explore. :D
 
Ads,Premium Sales + Legit customers like big corporations.

But its mainly ad revenue and premium sales.

Naturally they are making loads of money in this business, otherwise you wont see a couple of new hosts sprouting every day.
 
Well
I believe its only from premium sales for sites like filesonic.

A month premiumship is around 10$

So if there are even 5000 premium accounts permonth ( i believe there would be much more then that)

So 5000$ * 10$ = 50000$

Thats quite large money
And they do make profit in it too.
 
some filehosters also earn money from ads as long as they have them on their site

normally they make tons of money by purchased premiums, but be aware that there are also renewals (most of the filehosters do not pay for that, so all profit goes to them) and resellers (many people won't buy anything just because they do not want use PayPal etc but they have no troubles using local payment method)

soft2050 - the number you wrote is too low. premiums they sell every day is deifinitely much bigger
 
they get allot of traffic also like fileserve they are on the top 100 on alexa and hotfile
If you have a site on the top 100 so you can earn alooot of money
and premium sals they maybe get 100 premium/day

50000$ - 70% to you people :) = 15000$
