            Ok, if I've worked this out correctly 100TB is about 312Mbps average. For $199 including server??!? "As you would expect unmetered bandwidth from 100TB is truly unmetered and unshared, with no limits and no small print." How can they offer this price without seriously overselling their bw?

                Overselling isn't necessarily a bad thing, it's all about whether or not the bandwidth is properly managed. They pay for the pipes whether it's used or not don't they?

                    Yep, so that's overselling... if everyone suddenly used 100% of their entitled transfer per month their core router would catch fire.

                    Looking at it another way... if you use even 10% of the transfer you're paying < 2c/gig. If you use 50% it's < 0.4c/gig.

                      Because the people that patronize these companies in adult simply don't know any better.

                        Make no mistake, 100tb.com is a major host with a major network and support. They have been around a dozen or so years too I believe.

                              WTF are you smoking? 10TB/100TB is a reseller of another host.

                                In some deals like these, you're getting an older server that can't sustain a high bandwidth site anyway, and they profit by upselling you to a newer or multiple boxes...

                                  I bet the usual favorite adult hosts buy more bandwidth than they use too, and if you add up all the allotted bandwidth per customer, they oversell. It's a misused word when it comes to bandwidth management.

                                  I bet the usual favorite adult hosts reuse old server hardware too, I know for a fact as I was paying for some very cheap and very old hardware, and getting a very small amount of bandwidth for 7+ years.

                                  I've also used a Softlayer/10TB server for years and they've been great.

                                    ya u gotta upgrade your boxes every year. take advantage of price drops and technology upgrades. most decent hosts will migrate you for free. i usually go one step further and switch hosts too (unless they dont totally suck).

                                          Correct.

                                          Most people are OVERPAYING for what they really need because they simply do not understand resource management. Some of this is helped by the out of the box packages offered by hosts with too little disk space, older servers, etc..

                                          Most, not all, could cut their hosting expenses by 30-50% easily.

                                            They look pretty good I was about to try them as well. Anyone want to comment on how good/bad the control panel that they use compared to cpanel?

                                                    True, slow for me too...

                                                    I've seen those prices for unmanaged foreign servers, so the price is nice!

They won't even give you a chance to defend yourself or consider your side of the request. Their only acceptable response to a DMCA is take down the content or they'll shut you down. Even if you own the rights to the content. And even if you get a lawyer to talk some sense into them, they still won't listen...

                                                                            (midphase)

Its so simple to destroy someone's business on their servers by simply faking a DMCA. They'll always side with the complaining party even if you own the rights. If you're comfortable with that, host away. Otherwise, its not worth it.

In my case, its so obvious and takes less than 2 seconds to realize its not the copyrighted work in question. I'd rather pay more to avoid the constant disruption to my business from fake DMCA's to begin with.
