        No offense to OP, but why do hosting companies seem so similar to car dealers....in that they never give you the price the same way, so it's impossible to compare?

        What is 15TB and 30TB?

        You say that standard overage rates apply, but don't tell us what those rates are.

        With 8 bazillion hosts out there competing for business, don't you think it's better for you to make these things easy for customers to understand?

            Yeah or at least give more details on how they're billing.

            Some hosts say they're charging by the gig, but all they're doing is taking the 95th percentile mbps, and multiplying it by 320.
            Others actually take the actual amt of gigs transferred from the logs, which is a way different number.

            There should be a standard way of doing it, or at least good explanations...otherwise it just seems like car dealer tricks, where they try to make it look like you're getting a better deal but you end up paying more.

                Well 1TB = 1000 GB but what I think you may be looking for is a comparison to Mbps. If that is the case then a very close ballpark figure would be 33,000 GB = 100 Mbps, so that 15TB would be about 45 Mbps and 30TB about 90 Mbps.

                The standard overage rate on these packages would be $0.25/GB

                One thing of very special note for many of you reviewing this, these BW measurements are based upon the average. This could be a significant value to those of you with hosting where your BW is measured on the 95th percentile, especially if you have a lot of spikes in your traffic.

                I hope that helps but if you have any additional questions just let me know.

                  Caro.Net's billing is based upon the GB used and the measurement is taken directly at the port your server is connected to.

                  When you sign up for a Caro.Net web hosting account you are also given a My.Caro account and this portal allows you to see and perform the following:

                  * Account Settings
                  * Invoices
                  * Order new services
                  * Review your servers
                  * Reboot servers

                  and to monitor and see the exact same BW measurements that Caro.Net uses for billing. There should never be a surprise at the close of a billing cycle as we make this information available to you 24/7/365.

                      so the overage works out to about $75.00 per megabit

                      i don't want to do business with people who do biz that way with little games.

                        Clearly there seems to be a mis understanding here on overages...

                        The standard overage in this case is billed on a per GB model, and is readilly available to the end users at ALL times...

                        Plus of the packages listed, we assume you are going to explore the possibility of acquiring one of these based on your current bw needs, so immediately going to discredit them based on the percieved overages is not valid.

                        There isnt a chance it would be converted to per mbps, nor would it be billed at $75.00 per mbps.

                        For the sake of this thread not getting out of hand, and off point, I / we will honor a .10 per gb fee base on all packages, and state that the overages are totally negotiable...IF...they get out of hand. (you have the ability to track real time useage at all times...so this should never come as a suprise to anyone using these services)

                        That seems to be where most of the hesitation is coming in, or questions concerning the legitmacy of this promotion.

                        Any follow up questions or concerns after this are welcome, but I hope this has been made abundantly clear.

                        Please feel free to contact me directly concerning this, and bookmark/log the explanation so there is no further confusion.

                        Thanks.

                              Realisticly you can figure 220GB per Mbps on "normal" usage.
