    $2.5/GB no overage fees too high?

    I'm working on lowering my bandwidth fees. Right now I get $2.5/GB with NO overage fees. This is too high. What price per GB should I be expecting if I have NO overage fees at all?

    No average fees? Huh? So if you use an extra 500 GB this month, you won't get charged extra?

        wow,that's extremely expensive. If you have only sites for SE traffic then ok.....otherwise the overages can kill you.

          Your NUTS if you're paying over $1.00/Gb you should be able to get it to $0.50 or better at some good hosting companies =)

            Check out our packages at www.realitychecknetwork.com/virtual.html or hit me up on icq at 36837470, largest overage is $0.50 and go as low as $0.35 per gig.

            Take care

              Over a dollar a gigs is way to expensive.

                  Guys, screw the spam, you're totally missing what he's asking. It sounds like a really goofy deal, I want to know more about it...

                    overage, not average, overage. It means I can use however much I want and still get charged $2.5/GB.

                    [edit]

                    What I mean by "no overage fees" is not that the overage fees are $0.00/GB, but that they are $2.5/GB, the exact same as the regulare fees. I apologize for not explaining this better.

                        how much bandwidth are you using if you dont mind?
                        because if you use only 10-20gb/month it makes sense. Companies provide customer support and for the virtual and small accounts wouldnt be able not even to break even if they were charging very low prices.

                          For a straight per gig, try and get it down to $1.50 for that plan that you have. My overuseage price at the moment $0.59/gig with the prepaid being $0.59 a gig as well on one of my accounts.

                            $0.2/gb and over still $0.2/gb for me
                            Don't pay that high!

                                Explantion of overage fees:

                                Usually you have to decide how much you are going to use, before you use it, and then if you use more you get charged overage fees that are greater than regular fees.

                                [edit]

                                What I mean by "no overage fees" is not that the overage fees are $0.00/GB, but that they are $2.5/GB, the exact same as the regulare fees. I apologize for not explaining this better.

                                              I currently get $0.6/GB (regular and overage) fees with another host which I use mainly as an image host. Is this normal?

                                                It depends how much volume you're pushing. But yes, that's a fine number.

                                                      That's way high. Anywhere should be able to beat that.

                                                        If you can manage your own server, then I would definately suggest rackshack.net. Don't know how to manage a server...then you might be better checking elsewhere.

                                                        Dedicated Server - $99 - Includes 700 gigs of traffic
                                                        So, even if you only use 140 gigs a month, you would still only be paying 70 cents a gig.

                                                            I would be pushing 250GB/month, but only guaranteed to push 30GB/month in the contract. In other words, I will only be charged for 30GB/month if I push 0GB/month. It would be a 12 month contract too.

                                                              I've heard very bad things about rackshack's service when things go wrong. I like the advanced support I get now. I do not think I will be going to them.

                                                                sounds like a good deal for some one with a server for development or a back up server... no need to pay for bw while your not using it.. then 1 day maybe you'll use it and do 10 gigs and pay about 20$.. then just let it chill and not have to pay for it

                                                                                  Contracts suck. I learned my lesson about hosting contracts 3 years ago when I was paying $4 per GB while everyone else was paying $1 per GB.

                                                                                  Why sign a shitty 12 month contract when you can get the same price and service with another company on a month-to-month basis?
