I need 10Mbps dedicated. Can anyone REPUTABLE beat $399?

Hmmmm.....maybe I'll have to do some shopping around....I recently got my prices lowered from where I'm hosting now.....been there for a LONG time though....would take a helluva deal to make me move.
I wouldn't go through the hassle for a couple hundred a month.

ok fine

Yeah, shopping around is a good idea. Hosting prices are coming down on a monthly basis, its so competitive, and there are so many providers, that competition makes it cheap! So do some shopping man, you will be suprised how cheap bandwidth is now. If your paying 2002 prices, I suggest you move now!

Well I'm not paying 2002 prices...but you have to remember, there's lots of competition but how many of those new competitors will be here in a year?

How many of them are one man operations that are reselling for someone else?

I want someone to answer the phone or respond to a support ticket at 3am....I want quality multi-homed bandwidth....there are alot of things to consider other than just price.

Small isn't always bad, we're only a 4 man shop but we've got round the clock coverage

I agree with you, but I think the hosts that have posted in here, namely webair, phatsevers, isprime, and a few others will be here a year from now! That is why in my thread I stated only reputable people, I don't want to take chances with a ere today gone tomorow host.

unfortuneatly thats the trend in the industry now with the availability of cheap servers every teenybopper with access to mommy and daddy's credit cards are starting a hosting company and vanishing at the first sign of trouble....

Damn kids make it tough for us legit small shops to get business

RIGHHHTTTTTT
there is no way in the world just the traffic costs are about $300 and thats for the crapiest traffic in the world

All the hosts with these prices are oversellers.. If anyone on here actually used what the hosts tells them they do they be thrown off the network.. People dont realize the hosts are showing them fake graphs and ripping them off.. Its rather comical.

Another person stuck back in 2002

I know this for a fact BTW because I get new people who sign up and say my old host said I used 20 mb so I need 20 mb.. I turn on their shit and everything propogates and the bandwidth shoots up to like a whole 3 mb and stays there.. And um yeah there ya go another lied to customer..

were paying 400 at www.m3server.com fair price good quality not cogent fast server good support and i think every reliable company can offer this for 400 give or take, the servermatrix etc ones arent for real, not if youre also focussing on outside the US

out of all the unmetereds I've ever sold not one person has been removed from the network for using what they've been sold. I do have some clients that had Servermatrix 20mbits that couldn't push near that because SM was maxed out on their two cogent gig-e's but thats what you get with sub-par transit and rock bottom prices... I can almost match cogent pricing with some decent Level(3) and Global Crossing b/w

heh, I've got one of those right now, purchased a 25mbps package and gets everythign up and going, spikes to roughly 6-7mbps but even on 95% he's still below 6mbps said he was using all 20mbps at his previous host... heh

ok so what is price on true Tier 1 traffic per meg?

Anyone selling this makes there money like this: (article posted on www.thewhir.com)

Scam: here is the biggest scam in the hosting industry in bandwidth resale. When you buy 1 Meg of traffic chances are you will not use a full 1 Meg for the entire month. It is also very likely that you will only use about 40-50%, but you may burst for few a minutes during high traffic peaks. What many hosting companies have done in the past and are still doing today, is take 2 different people that both pay for 1 Mbps and have them share the same Meg of allocated bandwidth. Basically, they are banking on the fact that when you burst the other company will probably not and vice versa. Therefore a hosting company can sell you bandwidth for $50 p/Mbps and sell it to another company at the same price making $100 p/Mbps.

Now many people say who cares? Well here is the reason why you should care. Have you ever typed in a url of a site you know exists, or a link on the site and it brings up ?The page can not be displayed?? Well what just happened is that secession that you just initiated did not have enough bandwidth to display, in hosting terms that is called packet loss. So how would you like for your customer to try to order something from your site and get that page over and over again? Well that is what will happen if both you and another person that shares your bandwidth have high traffic on both of your sites at the same time.
