· Policy of non-schizophrenia
I'm only one guy, and I don't try to sound bigger than that by talking in the third person or using words such as "our" and "we".

· No overselling
I do not oversell servers. Simply put, I do not sell more disk or bandwidth than I physically have on each server. This allows me the flexibility to allow diverse types of clients and keeps CPU & RAM usage within acceptable performance metrics. This does however raise prices a little. Hey, you're paying for exclusivity!

As for pricing- when you buy a flashlight, do you buy a .99 cent plastic flashlight, a maglite, or a surefire?

I'm not super knowledgable about hosting, and while it sounds like you have a good quality system set up, 500mb a month of transfer seems tiny to me.

Do a search on google for web hosting sites.

You'll find that $30/month is way, way too high for what you are offering.

That's assuming that mb is not a typo.

If mb is a typo and you're really offering gb then $30/month is reasonable.

Blackburn, it really does seem that you're trying to give THR members a good deal.

Here's what my local shop (one I did a website for) gets for $9.95 a month: 100mb storage, unlimited monthly transfer, 5 POP accounts, 24/7 tech support (phone and email), and a bunch of other stuff they don't utilize.

For my own website, I pay $39.99 a month, which includes 500 mb server space, unlimited transfer, MS SQL server, 20 POP accounts, and more.

I really love this hosting company, after having gone through many bad ones such as you describe.

I hope you get some folks here to take you up on your offer.

Wish I needed space, but the college gives me what I need.

An intermediate rifle cartridge such as 223 or 762 would better denote a step in between 9mm and 50 bmg better than 45.

This is a gunner's forum after all.

I don't think it sounds that unreasonable.

My pricing will start at $20 and offer 99.9% uptime (with a real guarantee -- 99.8% and it's free for the month), so compared to me Blackburn's outright cheap.   .  There are a lot of cheap hosts out there, but reliability matters to some folks, and they're willing to pay for it.

Or at least, I hope they're out there.



Good luck with the service offering.  In a couple of months we'll argue cpanel vs h-sphere.  :p

Watch out about "starting cheap."  It's much harder to raise your prices down then road than it is to just start where you want to be up-front.

Just a lesson I leared in a couple of other businesses.
