    why hosting is so costly here?

    hi all

    i've never purchased paid hosting before. because i'm earning a bit of income thru my sites, i'm thinking of purchasing now.

    but, most of the paid hosting offers available here are too costly when compared to what brinkster offers.

    for ex. they(brinkster) say they charge $5 per month(personal plan) for 35 gb of b/w with lots of other goodies(incl. a free domain too).

    does it mean that they have some hidden charges? seniors pl. reply.

    thanx

    Hosting is very cheap over there because they are a large company. They oversell their servers, and probably overload them as well. Oversell means they host many people with large plans and overfill their servers. If you pay for instance 5gb for $2.95, the hosts believe you will only use about 150mb.

    But if you really try any of these super oversellers you will know that if you try to even use 5% of what was offered, they will suspend your account.

    There are various Clauses in TOS And AUP of the companies and you cannot fight back because you agreed to that while Signup. Most Simple reason for suspending a Account is *CPU Over Usage*.

    Actually one of my friend bought the personal plan for hosting with brinkster. This month he had lot of traffic due to educational results are being hosted on his site. Strangely after just 2 days, brinkster started displaying this message..

    This is simply overselling.

    They have special limits within there TOU like:

    5% CPU, you can only use xx bandwidth /day etc etc.

    The thing you need to think about is...... Do I need that much bandwidth?.

    IMO hosting, even in its more expensive versions (like $1/GB of data transfer) is still pretty cheap, just that people like to create websites that use very much and produce very little. The result is that they soon can't "subsidise" the hosting costs and start looking to get more for cheaper. Hosting is generally very cheap if you don't waste it needlessly or carelessly.

    does it mean that they have some hidden charges?
    I don't think there is a direct relationship between low prices and hidden fees.

    You'll always find ever cheaper hosting. That way the search will never end. Just look for a host that fits your short and mid-term needs. often times smaller and seemingly more expensive hosts, treat you with more care than a big host, where you can sometimes end up treated like a number.

    Good luck!

    Make sure you ask a lot of question. If the plans sounds too good to be true there are usually hidden cost.

    Dont forget to do a search on the Hosting Company in the web host forums and see what comes up, you'll find a lot about a Hosting Company this way (Down time, Customer Service, etc).
