Maybe I'm confused, wouldn't be the first time! ;)

How can Rackshack offer 150gb transfer including a RaQ4i for 129.00 a month????

I'd really like to go with a Linux box, but I can't find anything that offers anywhere near their transfer for even DOUBLE the month. Most boxes I found offer 50-60GB a month for the $300-500 range. Most only offer 20-30GB, and that'll easily be eaten up by a few large customers.

I mean, if I offer virutal plans that feature 10-15gb traffic, it'll only take a couple of these customers using their full package plan to eat up 30GB a month, right?

If every customer used 150GB they would charge at least $525 (based on Rackshack's additional traffic charge of $3.5 for 1 GB)I'd really like to go with a Linux box, but I can't find anything that offers anywhere near their transfer for even DOUBLE the month.Rackshack is not alone anymore offering 150 GB for $99 a month, Web Hosting Networks does the same.if I offer virutal plans that feature 10-15gb traffic, it'll only take a couple of these customers using their full package plan to eat up 30GB a month, right?No, it may take up to 1000 customers to earn 150GB, but it is risky to assume that. I would say 200 customers will be much safer number. Divide that by 5 for 30GB.

Do you have a URL for web hosting networks?
