Why Is Hosting Not Gettting Any Cheaper - GoFuckYourself.com

Frank The Tank · 10-05-2005, 09:00 AM

As tech advances surely so should hosting tech which should bring the costs of hosting down - ive not seen any changes in hosting pricing in a long time

simple simon · 10-05-2005, 09:01 AM

omg, open the spam

OG LennyT · 10-05-2005, 09:02 AM

Actually recently Webair upgraded their accts to offer more for the same money.

Moose · 10-05-2005, 09:02 AM

How much cheaper do you expect it to get before it becomes charity?
Prices were over $200/Mbps not to long ago.

ServerGenius · 10-05-2005, 09:03 AM

e5hosting opened a thread offering Cogent prices including server on Verio network.....

Prices for hosting will actually start to rise soon. The small resellers and cheap cogent and other peering asshats that have built their business models around over comits and being the cheapest are short lived. Quality hosting is a business and with any quality business there are costs and profits that have to be made. Under cutting the market has always and will always prove to fail in the long run, that's why sayings like "You get what you pay for" became a saying.

zagi · 10-05-2005, 09:20 AM

Why does a technological improvement mean a decrease in price?

Usually its increased competition and no originality that causes companies to compete with each other that lowers price.

Technological improvements might make manufacturing costs lower but why would a vendor pass that to you without competition from other companies?

As far as hosting prices - they are on a perpetual decline to $1/mbps.

Right now prices vary widely from $13/mbps up to $150/mbps.

5 Years ago you would never see a price below $200/mbps.

exactly this is a sign that the larger guys are phasing cogent our slowely IMO

Napolean · 10-05-2005, 09:26 AM

its because all the bandwidth comes from Iran and we wont see lower prices until we invade =(

Sly · 10-05-2005, 09:34 AM

You really must be looking in the wrong places. In the just over 2 years that I've been selling hosting, prices for bandwidth have dropped quite a bit and hardware demands have continuously risen.

There's a lot more to hosting then plugging a server into a wall and hoping everything works.

Hentaikid · 10-05-2005, 10:02 AM

I dunno, maybe you're looking in the wrong places. dreamhost 's prices are absurdly low and it's a top notch host to boot.

*For virtual accounts.

kaori · 10-05-2005, 10:29 AM

ewwww..dreamhost...
I was with them until last month, and they are anything but good

definately worth the $9/mth for the 120gb transfer IF you don't need reliability or mysql...
but let's just say that a LOT of TGP's weren't happy with galleries hosted on there..

I moved on to e5hosting

$7.95/month for 120 GB bandwidth is pretty cheap for a highly reliable host!

BlackCrayon · 10-05-2005, 02:08 PM

in the 2 years i've been with a certain place their prices went from 350 bucks for 300 gigs/month to 250 for 3000 gigs/month. not cognet either. i'd say they've changed a bit.
