    Why Is Hosting Not Gettting Any Cheaper

    As tech advances surely so should hosting tech which should bring the costs of hosting down - ive not seen any changes in hosting pricing in a long time

    omg, open the spam
    SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.

        How much cheaper do you expect it to get before it becomes charity?
        Prices were over $200/Mbps not to long ago.

                        Why does a technological improvement mean a decrease in price?

                        Usually its increased competition and no originality that causes companies to compete with each other that lowers price.

                        Technological improvements might make manufacturing costs lower but why would a vendor pass that to you without competition from other companies?

                        As far as hosting prices - they are on a perpetual decline to $1/mbps.

                        Right now prices vary widely from $13/mbps up to $150/mbps.

                        5 Years ago you would never see a price below $200/mbps.

                              You really must be looking in the wrong places. In the just over 2 years that I've been selling hosting, prices for bandwidth have dropped quite a bit and hardware demands have continuously risen.

                              There's a lot more to hosting then plugging a server into a wall and hoping everything works.

                                      I dunno, maybe you're looking in the wrong places. dreamhost 's prices are absurdly low and it's a top notch host to boot.

                                        I was with them until last month, and they are anything but good
                                        definately worth the $9/mth for the 120gb transfer IF you don't need reliability or mysql...
                                        but let's just say that a LOT of TGP's weren't happy with galleries hosted on there..

                                        I moved on to e5hosting

                                            I think proper SPAM might include a ref code, my post did not. Thanks for playing!

                                              $7.95/month for 120 GB bandwidth is pretty cheap for a highly reliable host!
                                              $9.95/month for 15000 GB bandwidth monthly, unlimited (sub)domains and MySQL5, PHP4/5, 500 GB disk storage! ; use any of these invitation codes: 216263692101; 408636009193; 846090586647; my ICQ 30160426!

                                                in the 2 years i've been with a certain place their prices went from 350 bucks for 300 gigs/month to 250 for 3000 gigs/month. not cognet either. i'd say they've changed a bit.
                                                you don't know you're wearing a leash if you sit by the peg all day..
