Jaggah,

You have never taken a business class before have you?

Business (unless it is your model) is not about being the cheapest nor having the biggest bandwdith or space allotments. Its about providing the best service you can with a price that will allow you to cover costs and have the funds available to incur future cost incase a downturn happens.

I do not know one person (maybe Brose, friend of mine) who would honestly tell you those were not cheap enough. Everyone else would go oh no they need to be dropped $2.00/month then they will fit into my budget. Do you see my point?

Base your prices on what you need to cover your costs on. Do some research on what the market allows. By the way, the local hosting market is mush better to look into first. The region we are in have basic 100 MB of Space and 1 GB of Bandwdith for $19.95/month. Plus, the technical support isn't there like most Internet based companies.

Best of Luck!
 
If you are really going to be serious about being in the hosting business then your question should not be "are they cheap enough", your question should be Are they expensive enough.

Couldn't have been put better :)
 
You could ask yourself, do the prices reflect the market you're aiming at?

The budget market is saturated with many hosts..established AND startups. It will take alot of originality and value added services to attract customers in that segment.

With those prices, are you able to sustain your company, and offer, at the very minimum, the features people expect in a webhost?
 
I remember a day when bandwidth actually cost money
75000 megs for 9 bucks seems very cheap...still...I've seen worse :forK:
 
Question is can you support what you sell? If your offering that much space/bandwidth, do you actually have it to offer? Can you expand?
 
Find your target market, then make your plans accordingly. "Are they cheap enough?" -- that is up to the prices you are getting for your servers.
 
Hi,

It hink the plans are well priced. I can suggest you not to focus on offering to much space and bandwidth as others. Think about of the scope of your services. Who do yu want to host. That will help you to look confident on the market.
 
Jaggah,

Looks like you're getting a lot of good feedback here. For my two cents I would like you to consider how your uptime, webspeed, and customer service metrics will compare to the marketplace. If you are able to implement the correct internal processes and execute on those processes, people will be pay you much more for your products and services.

A low price may get you a customer, but a high level of execution will keep them.
