Why use BeeIMG & How it Works

Bee



 



Nowadays there are tons and tons of image hosting sites to choose from. Most of them are powered with chevereto(A Premium script), scripts available at codecanyon(Premium scripts) and using scripts that are available for free. Newbies who want to earn money buys and put these scripts in a server and offer the service for free. only a handful of sites use their own scripts.



We BeeIMG are trying to develop a script using most popular programming languages in this planet and offer features that other sites don't offer for Free!.



We can start with the image serving process. It uses PHP to serve you the image other than linking to it directly. It's like a virtual image and the best thing is we have total control over the link you share with world. your images are safe and sound in another place in the server. we sent headers according to our needs and redirect to a CDN if the sever load is high. also image tracking and bandwith calculating is also possible with this system. using this we can even cache the content to serve the content faster.



From the start our system uses a multi-sever code. since its the beginning we don't have multiple servers yet but we save contents in 2 different folders for the future use. so once we get multiple servers we can load balance, serve images from your nearest server, and give you tons of space to host your images.



Finally If you have any questions regarding our system, feel free to drop a mail or contact us.

Stability Improvements 2020

Hi all, Since we detected that the site was operating in a degraded status causing increase rate of 500 server errors, we checked the servers and found the memory usage was high on all servers. To remedy that we upgraded the database server and rebooted all app servers clearing the memory on them and these steps reduced the error rate. Also we improved loading balancing and fail-over logic in the frontend servers. It is due to these improvements and improved thumb image caching, that we were able to release the search page to public. Earlier we constrained with less data and errors on creating thumbnail images on the results page. Please enjoy the improved service and please do reach us, if you find the service not fast enough. Thanks. Also read the stability improvements we did in 2019 in this post: https://blog.beeimg.com/2019/12/stability-improvements-2019.html

Stability Improvements 2019

Hello all, Over the past few weeks BeeIMG has been a little unstable and just wanted to clarify on what happened. In the first unstable issue which in November were caused by our server provider doing maintenance on our servers. Our AMS node got hanged up during the maintenance and had to be manually restarted. However the impact on the service was minimal and the maintenance on our CDG node affected our service as its where our databases is hosted. After the maintenance the db server had been moved to under performing hypervisor and started to slow down the site. We had to move the server again to a better server. Forward to December, one on of our free customers started hitting with lot of image view per second and this overloaded memory on AMS server and to redis node to fail. Making maters worse AMS server ran out of disk space. when a fail over to CDG happened the traffic overload that servers redis node and caused the service to fail. The site served 503 errors durin

Recent Hiccups May 2016

We faced some blackouts recently, and it was because we got very popular in china. The images that was generating lot of traffic were violating our TOS, but as they were generating lot of traffic and I thought it was a good time to stress test our image delivery systems. At first we were handling the load fine. after some time our redis server start acting wired. the issue was with dumping the db to disk, but as the images were generating lot of data the redis server crashed. we started to migrate the all gif images to be served by our CDN while still collecting views data. but at some point our real time stats handling script started to fail due to redis connection issues. after that the data started to collect and the redis server crashed every time it was started. While all that was happening we noticed that our php front end started throwing errors. this was due the connectivity issues to our redis server. The image serving end do not use redis server and was not afflicted. its usi
