Which hosting package would you choose?

[strancali]

Hey guys its been awhile. I need your input on this. I'm trying to figure out a good price point for my web hosting company. I have a few plan setup and i want to know from our group which plan would be more popular. I will try to see if i can do this poll thing but just incase i'll post the choices below. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hosting Package (PHP):

1) $3.95/mo. 1000mb storage, 10GB data transfer, 1 mySQL, 10 emails, 10 FTP, webstats, all the basic scripts

2) $6.95/mo 3000mb storage, 30GB data transfer, 3 mySQL, 300 email, 30 FTP, shopping cart, webstats, all the basic scripts

3) $9.95/mo 5000mb, 60GB data transfer, 500 email, 50 FTP, shopping cart, webstats, all basic sripts

This one would be available only to dvxuser members:

4) $19.95/mo 10000mb storage, 500GB data transfer, 500 email, 50 FTP, shopping cart etc.

note: a lot of companies out there claims to give you high bandwidth but most of them are just utilizing that advertising scheme. The minute you start using the high bandwidth such as 300gb/mo etc they will cancel your account. They are banking on the fact that 90% of clients never use more than 10gb transfer a month. As advertised, i will honor the bandwidth for option 4 (500GB). I already know you guys will be hosting high bandwidth materials. Please take out a minute and let me know which package you would actually consider if you were looking for a hosting company. I already messaged Jared about the cost to advertise a banner on this board. Thanks again :beer: .

How about:

3.5 TeraBytes Bandwidth (annual... what the heck is that per month, anyways?!)
10GB storage
300 GB Transfer
Unlimited e-mail accounts

$0/month

Sorry, Strancali, I don't mean to rain on your parade/poll. However, cheap hosting abounds these days and it would really take an amazing offer to move me.

Hey Terry,

No problem man. I'm just trying to get a sense of what is out there? What do mean by $0/month? Have you actually use up 300GB bandwidth yet and have they said anything? Thanks for replying.

Nothing's free; that's for sure.

Terry; they give you the second year free on this deal if you sign up and pay the first in advance.

Nothings free.

If I had enuff money..id definitly want number 4...but i think 500 gb is too much for me...my hard drive isnt even that big............wats ur company name?

if i had to choose...id go with 2 cuz i would jus upload films and jus create a flash site or suttin...noting major.

 

[strancali]

nvm i read there promotion.

"This promo is for a credit of 1 free year of hosting added to an existing prepaid hosting account in good standing only. It has no cash value. Additional years will be charged at regular service rates. "

hmmm... i'll start thinking of a good offer to make you move over .

 

[DBoz699]

How bout....for a person like me...who doesnt barely make any money...pay 20 bucks for a year..get the features of number 2?

ehh??? sounds goooood???

I dooo!!! lol

John long time no see!

blckhawk its called webnovations but we are not fully set up yet. I'm adding this service to my current business and thought that maybe i can our group a good price on hosting. I wouldn't want people to use up all those bandwidth but i know with us we will use it up so that's the only reason i had 19.95/mo on there so i can cover the bandwidth cost. A lot of these companies out there claiming unlimited bandwidth is a lie. Its just a marketing scheme and when they run across an account that actually use it they will cut them off and say that you are using too much resources that can affect other clients. Read their TOS carefully and you'll see. I won't offer the 4th option for regular clients only to dvxusers . We'll see how it goes, i'm just waiting for Jarred to get back to me regarding the cost of banner advertising.

blckhawk, i'll be sure to do something for dvxuser members. Hell, if i can't even break even at 20 bucks! haha but i'll do something for you once i'm up and running.

Yeah, there's a catch in that you have to buy the first year for $7.95/month. Which is still cheap by way of comparison.

I use Globat, but I signed up before this offer. I've never gotten close to my bandwidth limit and I probably never will as it is just a small town high school sports website. It does have lots of video clips, but it'll never have tons of hits.

Basically, hosting services seem to get bigger, faster, and cheaper all the time.

Good luck with your company.
