Cheap but not dirty cheap, I think there are plenty of hosting companies offering prices in this range, right?

That's a really great deal!

I already host with alphared and they are great solution for gallery submiters too ;)

Thats insane. I was with Alphared 18 months ago and I was paying $10 per mbit. I thought that was awesome. Does James still own Alphared?

Don't be an idiot, obviously you won't get a 5mbit server for $35..... jeez...

Wow.. Those are pretty amazing prices. If I were looking for a new host which I'm not, I'd have to drop them a line :)

sounds cheap. whats the catch?

"Numerous Alexa TOP 100 visited web sites trust all or the major portion of their business with Alpha Red."

Sounds good. What are some of the sites they host?

Damn, I'm paying almost the same for 30Mbps!!

I'll get a quote with them for sure.

edited by request.

im not a fan of alphared.

Tell them how you really feel :1orglaugh

:1orglaugh

James is the owner of ALPHA RED.

Alphared is decent, not the best tho

There is no catch.

ICQ/AIM me for details.

sounds pretty good

James is a great guy, he was always very good to me when I hosted there. I might return one day with prices like that

Sounds like a great deal for the tubers..

Companies that sell for cost or below cost do not last very long as history has shown. When a company uses these tactics it is usually because they have over committed themselves to their carriers and are simply trying to cut their losses before they are forced into bankruptcy. There are certain fixed costs in hosting such as the BW itself, data center space, power, routers and other equipment, servers, support, ect....the list is endless, so when giving it away for such cheap prices, ther is a catch plain and simple. It is simply just not good, prudent business.:2 cents::2 cents:

They've been around for quite a while, offering great deals!

We have the cheapest confirmed transit costs (IN THE WORLD) from every provider we purchase from. We've achieved this by using our 140+Gbps of usage to negotiate lower rates. Costs are further reduced by peering traffic directly with destination networks via our national backbone.

We focus on HIGH bandwidth hosting and the majority of our profit comes from bandwidth sales. Our usage increases by 15 Gbps per month, since the majority of the servers we sell are not capped (BURSTABLE VS. UNMETERED). We have single dedicated servers on our network that can burst to 3200 Mbps.

We host MANY multi-Gbps tube clusters. This $675 server offer is what we consider a 'seed' server. It gets you on our network, and then we watch your usage grow.

Nice prices. I'm currently looking for a smaller server solution. I'll be checking these guys out.

Has management/ownership changed with you guys? I remember some horrible stories going around the hosting community a few years ago about AlphaRed/OrangeFiber/etc. Had to do with not only business practices but a sales rep.

Always had great success with my boxes at Alpha Red. :)

those are great prices

Congent traffic I supose?

HostGator have best offers for BW

Alphared is kind of slow.

68 of our 140+ Gbps of actual outgoing USAGE, goes out Cogent. The remaining usage is routed Level3, other transit providers, and peered with destination networks via our private backbone.

Hey Mark still working close with Dan or?

You've been quiet on the Alpha Red love since all the lawsuits hit :)

OH my....

Funny find

Huilarious

Wow, amazing how the guys at GTS always seem to be involved with shady people.
I can only imagine what goes on behind the scenes.:2 cents:

dohhhh



...

Wow just re-read that.

:1orglaugh I wonder how many people got the " drinkinghardest special "

Good to know who the ones that work with the crooks are.

The funniest thing about this thread is that now $7/mbit is "overpriced"

LOL! Quiet about what? They were a cheap host and were great for exactly for what I recommended them for. I don't think anyone could complain about their pricing and value...

I think we were all caught off guard with the accusations from MS.

LOL! Yeah we associate with all "sorts" :1orglaugh

great bump :1orglaugh

Yeah, didn't you get your start in this biz because of Bill Ayers? :1orglaugh
