We'll ask $39/year a hosting package which provides 250Mb space, 25 email, 5GB monthly bandwith, Perl, PHP, MySQL... etc. from our customers. Is this price high? If so what it must be according to you?

That's really expensive, if you shop around you can find something what is 110% better than that.

There are cheaper things but on that pricing you will get a server that isn't oversold, should have decent support and 5GB is enough for most websites. If people pay it why not

I am not sure how any hosting package that prices $3.25 per month could ever be classed as anything but 'dirt cheap'. Simon

LOL - How the hell is that expensive? If you consider 11cents a day as expensive then it really goes to show the direction where those offering cheap hosting is going - down the gutter. People are just going go to be expecting more and more for less and less.

It really gets down to what market you are going to target. If you are planning on building your client base solely off this forum, then yes, that would be considered expensive. Personally I consider that dirt cheap. Thats an average of about $3 month. Its really hard to maintain expenses, PLUS support on that pricing model. If you are basing that on the wht factor, then be prepared to go even lower. Happens here all the time, constant war on pricing because someone is always going to offer more for less.

Thats rather expensive considering the offering.

That price is not high, in fact it is quite reasonable for a quality provider.

3.25 a month is expensive?
Posted by Martie, 05-25-2007, 01:03 PM
But you see, this argument can go an all day long, every day. The responses here already show it. I cannot for the life of me understand how some would consider that expensive when its **less than** what you would pay for a burger and fries to eat one time!

Our servers are managed. We don't overselling and give 24x7 fast technical support. The uptime is more than 99.5%. Most of our customers very glad from our services. Most of the companies do "big" overselling(for example 300GB space + 3000GB bandwith/month). They cannot provide these offers really. Also I saw that many copmanies provide our package under $10/year. I did not understand how they make money with these business plans or how they provide good service. I think we'll reduce our costs little more(one of our hosting packages that provides 250MB space price will set as $29/month. I think this will be reasonable price). Thank you for your responses.

Alright, at $29.00 per month I would have to agree that is high, the above post was $39.00 per year.

dhcart, your costs are not high - you have a value added service on top of hosting - there is no problem what so ever with your pricing... though, I will agree with some - for 99.5% uptime, that pricing is probably too high. If you can bump that up to a consistent 99.9% uptime, then you WILL be superior to most other providers and as such, your costs cannot be compared to others...

Finally!!! Someone with some real sense.. I really don't understand what is so expensive about 11cents a day.

I had a mistake and had wrote the price wrong at my previous message. it will $29/year(not month). Sorry. Last edited by domaincart; 05-25-2007 at 03:22 PM.

You are already very inexpensive - I would not look to further reduce costs - as those rates hardly even pay for 1 support ticket a month from a client... let alone the actual hosting service...
