I get 1000GB for $69 which is amazing. I paid a $100 setup fee to get that rate and it was worth it .. but the catch .. my web host won't upgrade me. It's $0.50 per GB overage. .. which is still reasonable .. but I'm stuck paying the overage charges .. which is how they make their money back. I'm gonna run $150 USD this month in overages.
At the moment I'm making enough profit to more than cover it. However, I made a few predictions .. if I acheive my goal of 8.3 sign-ups per day I'm gonna run $1250 in overages alone .. lol. ( That's based on my click-through and sign-up ratios as well as my pageviews vs. bandwidth trends)
I e-mailed my web host this morning to see if they could at least give me a deal on a second server so I can get an additional 1000GB. The past two weeks I've been putting all new galleries on a different domain so that if I do get the second server I can immediately split the bandwidth.
