    How much do you pay per GB?

    I see all kinds of crazy deals everywhere and per mbs deals - so much misleading bs everywhere.

    Bottom line - I am curious how much you pay per gb and how much gb/mth do you push.

    For one of my projects I push about 1000gb/mth and pay $0.60/gb

    I'd say for real unmetered b/w it should get much cheaper than that.

            25 cents a gb for top quality bandwidth
            I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,
            I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.

              Bandwidth costs about 0.17 per gig wholesale. Anything above that is just profit.

                At 10mbps 24 hours a day in a month you can transfer about 3000 GB

                              http://www.cheapbw.com is from 30c per gig for no-frills gallery hosting, cheaper for really high volumes - I've found them pretty good, and the payment system is quite flexible.

                              Edit - just read your post again, they don't do PHP I think.
                              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, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

                                There are a lot of misleading deals out there Jojojo. It depends on if you want the lowest price on "theoretical gigs" or if you want to pay for what you actually use.
                                Someone can drop you a 10mbps line and tell you that its worth 3000 gigs a month, but its really not.
                                In theory, 10mbps peaked throughout the month will get you that many gigs, but if you have a capped 10mbps line and you keep it peaked, your sites will be unreachable.
                                You need to buy about twice as many megs as you average to ensure that your sites will load quickly during peak traffic times. So if you average 10mbps you'd have to buy 20mbps and so on.

                                I'd bet that most of these people who tell you they're getting 16 cents or 30 cents a gig pricing are basing it on the 10mbps=3000 gigs theory. If they sat down and figured up how much bandwidth they actually used, not how much they think they're allowed to use, the price would be much different.

                                Oh and BTW, I'm currently paying about 50 cents a gig, billed for what I actually use, for dual homed Level3/Uunet bandwidth.
                                And I push about 3500-4000 gigs a month.
                                sig too big

                                  Well, I'm conscious of those "word games" some host used to play. That's why I'm giving you my exact inquiry. Plain and simple.

                                            Hrm..


                                            As a host, here is what I have to say. Others in this thread got it right as well.

                                            I can give you a nice pre-packaged deal @ .35/GB for 500GB.

                                            -or- $.50/GB flat-rate no commitment

                                            -or-

                                            $800 for 10Mbit/sec.

                                            Really, it's about all the same for me. No one ever uses their entire GB/mo commitment, but people will sign up for that plan 9 times out of 10 over the $.50/GB flat-rate, and 9 out of 10 of those people will be paying more than $.50/GB when you figure their actual usage.

                                            -Phil
                                            Quality affordable hosting.

                                              **what is the max amt. of gigs you can produce on 10mbps????
                                              on a 10Mbps line if you push 24 X 7 for 30 days you will transfer about 3,300 gigs (330 per Meg)

                                                  Actually, they are on this board. I got a good rate because I buy a lot of traffic.
                                                  $.25 per Gig? thats not bad, but with a contract I can beat that Actually if you look at our banner you will see a deal for $.24 + a free server. Thats with 10Mbps line.

                                                    How does $.29 per Gig + $50 per U sounds?

                                                                                Am I the only one seeing this?

                                                                                                  Because of this my actual price per month, per gig may vary.
