Am I being overcharged by my host?

01-20-2005, 10:37 AM

I'm not saying names, because they are a very good company, and I like them, but I was wondering if I am being overcharged.
The server I have with them is dedicated (managed), with 300 gigs for $250.

I have better offers in other places, but this host has been giving me great service for a couple of years.

So, is this too expensive?

Its a little bit on the high side but usually hosts offer their best pricing when you push more bandwidth, because there are costs that you cant avoid when you setup a dedicated server for a client. So usually the less bandwidth with your dedicated server the higher the price, so its not all that extreme. Again, if you are happy with their service hit them up and see if they can give you a bit of a bump in GBs since they probably wont drop the price much, but they should be able to add a bit more transfer to your plan.

Take Luck!

not that expensive, its managed and if it has great support, i would stick with it for a bit more, maybe talk to them about discounts on your next servers

If you havent had a problems with them site crash, downtime. I would stick with them. Better to pay a little extra then having your sites down all the time .

That's not bad at all, if it's a good server and good bandwidth.

Think about it, save a hundred bucks and lose half your customers from shity connections, or pay a fair price and provide a quality service.

If anything let them know and see of they can get a you a little discount.

We charge $299 for 500 gigs on a 100 meg line.

Being "overcharged" is totally subjective.

When with a hosting company, you aren't only paying for server space and bandwidth, you're also paying for SERVICE. The combination of those 3 elements is what makes up a good hosting experience. If you're missing one of those elements, odds are at one point or another you will find yourself unhappy with your host.

If price is your ONLY concern, meaning that you have no other complaints about your host... stick with them. The grass isn't always greener on the other side.

If you are happy with your host and your service and have been paying that price for a while contact your sales rep and see if they can re-work your contract. If the box has been dedicated long enough to be paid for they will most likely adjust your billing.

It's not always the hardware, the space, the speed. It's the stability, enginuity and fast response of your host that matters which is commonly priceless.

Not bad a price. If you're a happy customer for all those years, that's not a bad price at all for dedicated.

Personally, I'd say you're being overcharged. I have a managed dedicated server with Phatservers and I'm paying a lot less for more bandwith. And Phatservers has a reputation for amazing support, above and beyond what's needed.

Unless your current host sends you hookers occasionally, you should check out Phatservers.

For the bandwidth/space and specs of server it probably is a bit too expensive.

But if you are getting 24/7 support and they do it all for you, then it can be fair.

But most any decent hosting company will give you more for $250
