this is insane right? the server is about $100 a month normally

what's more how much they charge is nowhere mentioned on their site

yup nuts. We can do much much much better for ou on overage charges, or set you up with a plan you wont go over on.

Lots of hosts do this. Thats how they make money.

at least some let you know how much and if to keep your server online

what you think, cancel the visa charge?

**spasmo** · 10-05-2006, 09:21 AM

How did you end up with an allotment of 1000GB? I thought they were doing 3000GB (or 3500GB?) on their dedicateds now.

I'd bitch to 'em and see what they can do for you.

Look, somewhere on the site you can read how much additional bw is. A lot of these hosts charge 4 per gig or whatever. They did nothing wrong and nothing shady.

older server from a year ago or something
aren't most doing 2000GB at this time?

I have bitched, they won't butch, so I'm pulling the 3 servers I have there

**LiveDose** · 10-05-2006, 09:23 AM

It's just like minutes on cell phone plans.

ask the women (says she was the supervisor), where it was on the site, you couldn't tell me

**Fred Quimby** · 10-05-2006, 09:25 AM

$4*114 = $456

they are ripping you off $3 bucks!

**TheMaster** · 10-05-2006, 09:30 AM

oc3networks for instance has: the cost for bandwidth overage is $0.75 per GB

see that's the standard, not $4, what's their profit margin on that? 4000% !!! at least

**squishypimp** · 10-05-2006, 09:34 AM

switch to one of these hosts:

www.webair.com
www.tear2hosting.com
www.dwhs.com
www.oc3networks.com

**zagi** · 10-05-2006, 09:41 AM

Hey squishy I thought tear2 was bought by oc3 - why are you still advertising 2 different URLs?

Thanks for the laugh

**bdld** · 10-05-2006, 09:47 AM

they should've told you about it beforehand, before the fees got out of hand.

**baddog** · 10-05-2006, 09:47 AM

I wonder if they have a lower rate for pre-paid overage

Yeah, it's called "a better hosting plan".

j/k

**tranza** · 10-05-2006, 09:51 AM

Talk to them before charging back.

**Dirty Dane** · 10-05-2006, 09:52 AM

114 GB is not really much. However $4/GB is much

**woj** · 10-05-2006, 10:01 AM

$4/gig is fucked, I haven't seen prices like that in 10 years, lol

**WebairGerard** · 10-05-2006, 10:05 AM

that is extremely high for per GB overage! If they won't work with you and decide to host elsewhere please feel free to contact me. We can set you up with a nice plan at Webair.

not in there + can't find it on the signup process either

**Altheon** · 10-05-2006, 10:17 AM

That is outrageous. .50 per gig is what I pay for overage.

**Trixxxia** · 10-05-2006, 10:19 AM

$4?? that's like 2000 pricing. After getting hit with a $6-to-900 'overage' bill (can't remember it was so long ago and such a nightmare at the time that I blacked it out of my memory) LMAO & 1 month of intermittant downtime, I switched. Never a problem since *THANKFULLY*
I'd hit up Swiftwill.com for a quote - absolute best customer service in the industry. Pro-active - and a great bunch of guys. I love them!

Time to tell them good-bye. If they would rather have the short-term $400 than whatever you would pay by staying for years you are better off without them.

**gooddomains** · 10-05-2006, 10:25 AM

talk to leon from adulteuhost.com, he will cut a nice deal for sure

prefer US based at the moment, because of the weak dollar

**DutchTeenCash** · 10-05-2006, 10:35 AM

4 per gb thats insane

**Nismo** · 10-05-2006, 10:36 AM

Same exact shit happened to me back in May, only my overage charge was more than double that amount.
