Enquiring about hosting.

[Manero]

How much would it cost for around 1Gb space and somewhere near 300GB BW. My current site is last-sig.be

I'm only looking for established hosting, I dont want to see my hosting be lost within a few months. Cheers, Manero.

A bit of both. I am in the need of a new host.

Is http://canaca.com/ a bad host. They seem to be overselling, and dont look liable.

Same goes for godaddy.

Is this 300Gb transfer allowance an actual requirement or just an estimate ?

What will be generating the data for this ? Static pages or a lot of dynamic content ?

Is this 300Gb transfer allowance an actual requirement or just an estimate ?

Most the data will be used on the Dynamic Images. The 300GB allowance can vary. Like currently I need only 30GB but as it grows I will need more bandwidth.

[B-Z-M]

Maero how is 1gb/300gb with unlimited features for $20/Month. We are NOT Over sold! www.5-starhosting.com

[TJR Networks]

Hi Manero,

TJR Networks (http://www.tjrnetworks.com) can offer you 1000MB of space and 40GB transfer per month for US$9.99 per month. Our packages include PHP and mySQL support, CPanel with RVSkins, Fantastico, Spam Assassin and more (http://www.tjrnetworks.com/hosting/). While we don't list hosting packages larger than this size on our site, custom packages based on the same pricing structure are also available.

All of our hosting plans now include a 99.9% uptime guarantee and a 15 day no questions asked money back guarantee.

If you have any queries about this offer, please feel free to contact us via PM, email (http://www.tjrnetworks.com/contact/) or post a message in the 'Pre-Sales Questions (http://www.tjrnetworks.com/forums/)' section of our support forums. :)

[Manero]

Well the hosting will also need to have the following,

GD Support, Freetype, PHP, .htacess,

[WL-Michael]

I'd offer that around the price of $30/monthly

[TJR Networks]

Our packages have those features enabled. :)

[monaghan]

Most the data will be used on the Dynamic Images. The 300GB allowance can vary. Like currently I need only 30GB but as it grows I will need more bandwidth.

OK, If it's all dynamic images, then I'm guessing you'll be quite CPU intensive, so you'll need a lightly loaded host rather than a budget one.

We'd want in the region of $35-40/month, however that resource would be allocated to your account and not resold to other customers.

[Manero]

however that resource would be allocated to your account and not resold to other customers.

What do you mean by this.

Please read the requirements before you reply.

[monaghan]

Sorry, thought this was obvious. We only sell our resource once unlike some cheaper hosts. Perhaps if I should have stated "We don't oversell"

Since you didnt mention the control panel you wish to use, so i can offer you 1 gb space and 100gb bw for 10$ per month or as you originally requested 1gb+ space and 350Gb bw for 20$ per month. But it wont come with cpanel but some other control panel. So if intersted contact me via pm or via my signature link.

[Manero]

I might also state that my price range is $10 or less.

[Richard]

For 100GB's of Bandwidth? Well, enjoy the downtime. :P

[Kommercial]

Is your site established? Very few companies or services actually use 100+ GB of bandwidth.

[AvailNetworks]

Manero,

Do you currently need that much transfer or is that far down the road? If you only need a smaller amount of bandwidth you may want to go with a more reliable/established host and start with their smaller plan and then move up from there and eventually use a custom plan or move to a dedicated server. You can take the 300gb offers for under $50/mo but you will be sadly mistaken if you think they can actually support your required transfer without giving you trouble at every turn

[Manero]

Its not so much that its established, but its like a image hosting site. You can see it at http://www.last-sig.be

The images use dynamic data and update every two minutes, but only if someone views the image otherwise it doesnt update. (caching for 2 min) At the moment around 800 people are actually using the images on forums and their websites. I get only about 100 hits a day and around 800 page views a day. I get around 1000000 hits on the images each month. It currently is using around 20GB a month.

[Manero]

So I can probably go for hosting with 30GB a month and then expand this package by 10GB each month. Only problem is I am not really earning any revenue which is why I am asking for the large package at the small price.

[Kommercial]

To add to this; Many people start a site thinking their site is going to make a huge impact, when the fact is, it's not. If you think something is new, it's not, someone else has already done it.

A good starter site will need no more than 1 GB webspace and 10 GB bandwidth, which now, you can get for around $5.00/mo.

[AvailNetworks]

I was referring more to the established hosts, not your site. You will see offers all over the place anywhere from 2.95/mo to $100/mo for the exact same thing. I was pointing out that if you plan to grow and want something reliable you may have to severely lower your bandwidth requirements or raise your budget and go with a reliable company.

anyone who tells you that selling 100gb+ bandwidth and gigs of space for under $50/mo is not overselling is nuts.

[Manero]

Well at my current host which i have been with for nearly a year offers 3GB space and 90GB of Bandwidth for $8.43 a month. And when I was talking about my site before the post ont he page before asked if my site was established. I do value reliablity over cheap prices but I also have to take price into consideration as my site is not selling a product or service and it is difficult for me to earn money.

I can lower my bandwidth request to 30GB but as I said it will be changing all the time. Most the bandwidth (over 90% probably) is used by people viewing the images through forums and peoples sites.

anyone who tells you that selling 100gb+ bandwidth and gigs of space for under $50/mo is not overselling is nuts.

So, by me selling for $19.95 100 GB bandwidth, I'm not reliable? That's not what my 99.7% uptime for the last six months has said.

[AvailNetworks]

if you are getting a decent amount of traffic, to earn revenue why dont you throw some ads up on there to gain some revenue. 30gb of traffic can be had for under $10/mo but the whole 90gb of bandwidth for so little cash.....let those hosts die quietly, they will eventually burn themselves out

was not pointing at you directly, forgive me if it seemed that way. I was making a general statement about the hosting community

[Manero]

I did place some ads on the site but got no clicks in two weeks and was getting about 4 cents a click. Getting about $0.20 a month wont help.


but the whole 90gb of bandwidth for so little cash.....let those hosts die quietly, they will eventually burn themselves out

Well I have been hosted with them for a year (on a lower plan $3.55 for 400mb and 14GB BW) and only have praise for them.

[AvailNetworks]

then why are you leaving?

[Kommercial]

was not pointing at you directly, forgive me if it seemed that way. I was making a general statement about the hosting community

In that case, I misunderstood. In the "new era", paying $4.00/mo for 300 GB is overselling.

[Manero]

For a change. And because I have two sites currently hosted on the package and want to seperate them so i thought I would try out another company.

[AvailNetworks]

maybe I am still a bit old school, even though I have been around a touch under a year. I generally charge higher than most companies I think, to be honest I really havent compared my plans to many others, never needed to. I think eventually the hosting business is going to drive itself into the dirt if it keeps going the way 1and1 is with the ridiculously low prices/transfer. I know me personally I would love to have far less people on my systems and have them pay more (which i do). The people that pay more tend to have far lower support tickets and in the rare occasion something may happen they are easily understandable and more forgiving. Right now 99% of my sites are business customers paying over $20/mo, server load is at .33...smooth as glass, everyone is happy


and if you are currently happy with your host I would honestly stay. it is hard to find a host you are happy with and can stay with for more than 8 seconds, count yourself lucky

[Manero]

Well I still have three months left of hosting with that company, I just want to open my options in advance see what else it out there. Maybe I should focus more on earning revenue and fixing my site and then look elsewhere for hosting in the later future.

[AvailNetworks]

that I think would be a better track of thinking, and regarding the small revenue you earned from adwords.. it was a couple cents that you didn't have before! :) even the most successful of operations starts with a single transaction

[Manero]

But when hosting costs $10 a month and you are earning $0.25 a month, things dont work out. I only have less then $20 in my paypal. After three months my site will just go down, wont be able to afford it. But I have no clue how to increase CTR.

You really cannot expect to earn a good income from ads, especially on a mediocre populated site.

[Manero]

Well i would make my site have say subscriber benefits but I am not to good at intergraitng a subscriber script on the site.

[AvailNetworks]

that may be something good to look into. Having a site with no revenue and nothing to financially back it can be difficult. Would you know of any sponsors that would like to have a banner on your site in exchange for hosting/monetary compensation?

[anythingmate]

I really dunno u can go to GoDady

[Manero]

No I dont know any sponsors. It isnt easy finding people who will host for a banner.

[AvailNetworks]

you are correct, but you never know who might give you a couple bucks for it. Your best bet is the google adsense and just build up your site a bit, try to grab some extra revenue somewhere

[Manero]

But I need to earn the revenue through paypal which is why I cant use google adsense.

[TJR Networks]

I gather from your above post that you don't have access to a credit card Manero?

[Manero]

Indeed I do not have access to a credit card.

Thanks for that Jan. I would rather hosts only make offers if they have been up for 5 or more months.

[NitroZone.Net]

Thanks for that Jan. I would rather hosts only make offers if they have been up for 5 or more months.

Honestly, i wouldnt touch a web host if they didnt have atleast a year or 2 in business. You seem to be putting alot of thought into this which is good so might i also suggest you consider going with an established hosting company of a year or two atleast.

[Manero]

I need some new offers. I want to move on form current host. But I have a budget of $5 a month.

Diskspace is not hassle.
