We waive all setups if we get naked pics of the customer with 2257 documentation ;) but seriously sly said it correctly.

We stopped a long time ago. I mean as a host you should be willing to go out of your way to help the customer get started.
Also keep in mind a $200 set up free is like $20 more a month, so it's a way to offer a lower priced server but still get more money. Kind of tricky, never licked that kind of business.
But yes there is a process to set up servers and even yes web hosting that takes time and money to set up. There is a risk, hopefully customers will appreciate that companies like www.dwhs.com take most of the initial risk on both parties behalf.
We actually mention this on the front page
I should mention though that set up fees are normal and not a scam in anyway for most hosting companies.Last edited by chaze; 09-14-2006, 12:21 PM.Like the desert needs the rain

I can understand a setup fee when you need something special done. but in most cases it's not much work for the tech and it should be included in your monthly fee.
I've paid setup fees before but nothing huge.Originally posted by rayadp05Comment

how about the hardware cost? to keep the monthly low, some of the cost has to be made up with a one time fee... just because its called a SETUP fee, doesnt mean its spent on building a server physically.Originally posted by bl4h
A host has to pay for HARDWARE, BANDWIDTH, POWER, RACKSPACE, COOLING, SUPPORT TECHS, SWITCHES, Software licenses, ETC.
You think your $200/month is going to cover ALL that, and help the host make back his money on the hardware, AND THEN make a profit? OH WAIT, hosts are supposed to act as CHARITY'S.
You pay a setup fee to take a little off the hardware / implementation cost so that the monthly can be kept lower.
If you dont want a setup fee, im sure hosts would glady RAISE your monthly so that they can make the cost back in time.
Total idiot.Comment

1) i was responding to this: "You guys would be amazed how many people order a server only to cancel it within 24 hours because they "found a better deal". Well guess what? While they were out shopping, the hosting company was buying parts and building a server."
2) I never paid a setup fee, and pay less than $200 a month. There are many companies that do not charge setup fees. I dont know what youre on about

Look at car rentals ....
Some have no deposit, some have...
The higer the deposit ( upfront rental ) , the lower the monthly .
In hosting, if you are going to keep your server for longuer than 6 months, the best $$$ option is with the setup fee .... After 6 months, you are back nose to nose with cost. The 7th month, you are ahead of the game and so on ....I know that Asspimple is stoopid ... As he says, it is a FACT !
But I can't figure out how he can breathe or type , at the same time ....Comment
