Bandwidth costs @ web hosts

[fusionx]

I've been reading a bunch of the threads about shared hosting and have looked at a number of hosts. One thing I've noticed that pisses me off is that most hosting companies don't list their bandwidth overcharge rates.

What good is it to say "One Month, 20gb bandwidth, only $9.95!!" when the bw overage cost could be huge?

I currently use Webair, they do list their overage costs, and they're pretty high - $2.00 per gig over.

A number of people say that BW shouldn't be more than about $0.75 per gig, max.. anyone have shared hosts at that price?

You can find plenty of quality hosts at 75c a gig

There are lots of quality operations. Do some research and find out who can best suit your needs.

[MrIzzz]

see sig. talk to them one on one maybe they can do something for ya

[fusionx]

Thanks for all the replies. I'm not bitchin about webair - more bitchin that other hosts don't always post their overage costs. I'd be pretty reluctant to sign up with one of them.

Webair has been great for me.. I haven't gone over my bandwidth yet so the pricing is definately right!

I've always bought bw by the pipe, not the gig.

How many "gigs" is a 1 Mb/s pipe?

no doubt, phatservers rock. i've got a virtual account there that has always loaded very fast, and to my knowledge hasn't gone down once (except for one time that was my own dumb fault - lol).

support is good as well.
