Very very nice! :Graucho

We've had this discussion on this board a hundred times before.
Most people on non-cogent bandwidth pay around 50 cents a gig. The rest of you "think" you pay less than that.

Fuck mbps, 95th percentile, 50th percentile and all that shit. Ask a host flat out what they'll bill you BY THE GIG. Tell them you want to pay for what you use, no more, no less.
The price you get for that is the price you'll end up paying on any of their other plans. (capped 10mbps line, 95th percentile, etc etc)

Ok I get bandwidth at around 20 cents per gig.

what exactly is the "95 Percentile"? I believe that is what our hosting company is doing?

Thanks,

JDog

seriously?

35.8 Mb/s as your customer's mrtg graph shows? Not "Independent" stat service?
Oh, man you're going to beat the market!

btw, maybe it depends on your regular prices :Hollering

YEs but compare the prices of the two. More than likely the prices of the two will be the same.
Most who say they bill on average, charge a bit more than the ones who charge on 95% . And some companys will even let you pick how you want to be billed, and the 95% price is always cheaper than the 50% price.



In the end, go with someone who knows what they are doing and keeps your sites up and running so you make money.

Sure, but your price per megabit is going to be higher when billed on average.

Feel free to hit me up for a quote as well

Yeah I just checked and there are no MBPS prices on the site. Only by the gig virtual prices and server rent for dedicateds.

A host that bills you on average mbps instead of 95th percentile mbps will charge roughly twice as much per meg.
It all comes down to "how much per actual gig transferred". Everything else is smoke and mirrors to make prices look better.

For those of you that "think" you're paying 20 cents a gig, get last months hosting bill, and then check your logs to see how many gigs you actually transferred out. Divide A by B and you'll be very surprised at what that number is.
:2 cents:

Please don't seriously tell me you are questioning out reputation 99.99% uptime here

Not really, hit me up for a quote. let me know what you are pushing now and how much you are paying for that, Bet I can beat it
