Ok ok! 12 months ago it was the place you would go for high bandwidth at a cheap price, yeah it wasnt the best but you tended to deal with it because of how cheap the bandwidth was and how you could host anything legal you wanted.
But latley, I have been watching both sites just out of interst and they are really starting to get behind times.
From sharktech:
Processor (CPU)
AMD 2400+ (1 core x 1.66 GHz)
Memory (RAM) 2 GB RAM
Storage (HDD) 200 GB HDD
Ethernet (NIC) 100 Mbps
Monthly Transfer Unmetered
IPv4 Allocation 8 - 64 IP addresses
IPv6 Allocation 2^80 IP addresses (/48)
Setup Fee $0
Price $159 / month
OMG what a deal, a server that can do ---- all for 159$/month.
I doubt the unmeterd is truly unmeterd because it also comes with these upgrade options.
Port upgrade (1 Gbps) 50 Mbps average (15 TB) $250 / month
100 Mbps average (30 TB) $450 / month
Wow, 450$ for 30TB, granted that IS cheap, but isnt everyone else starting to get to these prices as well???
I have seen many offers for 100mbps(30TB) for around that price, some for 200/month.
I wonder how many customers they are getting these days now they really have no price difference, also hardware costs far more there, if you want something decent your paying in excess of 200/month, I can go somewhere else and pay 70/month....
Sharktech and FDCs VDS packages are out dated, I see heaps better for the same price..
Me thinks they need to do some serious price adjustment, if they wanna win in such a flooded market, the quality of bandwidth is total ---- but yet it costs the same as stamius?? lol.
