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. jedberg@reddit.com

Those would be the stats for what???

His profile says he works for Manwin Canada... So it's very likely pornhub.com

(Manwin Canada also owns the Brazzers network of sites)

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:
