THEIR PRICE IS STUPID!!!!!!
I can get anything with $5750/month
they offer
30GB space
500GB Bandwidth
for $5750/month
I hope they are in Yen!
if they are talking about US dollars...then I guess they will have 0 clients in their database!

that site smells fishy....

From their website:

"...Our plans are the cheapest on the market. They offer you the most amount of space along with maximized bandwidth at very affordable prices...."

Yikes. And they choose to use PayPal for $5k transactions. They've got balls, I'll give them that.

My favourite part >

"StoreDataOnline.com started from the brinks of nothingness and quickly evolved into a powerful, professional, and courageous company. When we first started this company, we were offering our users unlimted space and bandwidth for ridiculously cheap prices. That strategy however wasn't flawless, we soon began to experience massive growing pains and the quality of our service began to become less than optimal."

nope. they are in Union City, NJ 07087 so it is US dollar. :)

My first post, but I thought this was a little bit too weird to pass up.

Nyx5000: You shoudl move the decimals for the prices on your plans over to the left a couple of digits, i think you made some massive typoes.
SDO Services: and you are?
Nyx5000: The typo police
SDO Services: i see, one of the major useless entities on earth
Nyx5000: the site, isn't serious about the prices, is it?
SDO Services: sure, the site is serious
SDO Services: it depends on how serious you are
Nyx5000: definetly not serious enough for those prices ;-)
SDO Services: not many people are
Nyx5000: so about how many clients do you server
SDO Services: our services aren't for everyone
Nyx5000: serve*
Nyx5000: they are for people who had a lobatamy (sp.)
SDO Services: heh, i have well over enough
SDO Services: to suite my needs
Nyx5000: if you found just one idiot to buy the last plan, you would be set for a while lol
SDO Services: i'm actually not making much of a profit off of that. That price is as low as it can get
SDO Services: all these people are getting dedicated bandwidth
Nyx5000: The "affordable plan" and "family plan" i could possibly even see
Nyx5000: but after that the prices are jsut inflated
Nyx5000: and thats an understatement
SDO Services: as i said, our services aren't for everyone
Nyx5000: ok
Nyx5000: am i missing something
SDO Services: dedicated bandwidth costs
SDO Services: we're not accepting any new customers anyway

Nyx5000: yes well
Nyx5000: i dont understand how, with the many sites available that offer dirt cheap prices with decent connectivity, you seriously offer prices like that on this site.... i think you are actually joking about it
SDO Services: it's really no joke. If you do some research on dedicated bandwidth, you'll soon understand. All those "dirt cheap" hosters out there either off your really cheap servers and very bad shared bandwidth
SDO Services: you really get what you pay for
SDO Services: offer*
SDO Services: but don't worry, i predict withint he next 2-3 years, those prcies will be going down by over 75 percent

SDO Services: you'll hear about it

SDO Services: we don't joke around when it comes to performance
Nyx5000: oh, ok
Nyx5000: so are people allowed to host anything, than
SDO Services: anything legal
SDO Services: as goes with all hosts
Nyx5000: well, the only reason i could see anyone paying that kind of money monthly, is to host something illegal lol
SDO Services: whoever is hosting something illegal would never pay this sum
SDO Services: trust me
Nyx5000: ok ,who would paythis sum
SDO Services: mainly business people
Nyx5000: give examples of the type of people who pay for this service
Nyx5000: are these people, tupid?
Nyx5000: stupid*
Nyx5000: lol
SDO Services: not at all
Nyx5000: what could they possibly host that would cost them 5700 a month
SDO Services: a major video editing company
SDO Services: needs to store huge files
SDO Services: and needs tons of bandwidth
Nyx5000: but only 500GB
Nyx5000: that is not 'tons'
SDO Services: 500 GB of dedicated bandwidth
SDO Services: yes, that is a lot
SDO Services: you're confusing shared with dedicated
SDO Services: they're two different aspects
Nyx5000: ok than explain
SDO Services: plus, i've realized that most hosters with their cheap prices, may offer tons of bandwidth, but the speeds and performance would be poor
SDO Services: even though you're getting 10000 GB bandwidht
SDO Services: if they cap your speed to 11k
SDO Services: you won't be feeling so big
Nyx5000: and what is your max through-put
SDO Services: 100 Mb
SDO Services: that line is entirely yours
SDO Services: so if you have a fast enough connection, you could be traveling at full speed

So, if someone gives them $5,000, they're not getting it back.

That's sorta what I was implying; PayPal is frequently used by high-risk businesses who would not otherwise qualify for a merchant account with Visa, MC, etc. The fact that they choose to use it as the sole form of payment tells me plenty.

Consumers don't know they can't get their money back; until they try.

It's sad; really.

They have a new agreement which, supposedly, more clearly defines the legal relationship between PayPal, the seller, and the buyer. I rarely use their services so I haven't yet read (nor agreed to) the new terms, but I'm sure it futher distances them from the transaction itself. I did see the usual "recompensation of legal fees" clause (up to $1000). So selling a $10 chotchkie on eBay could end up costing you a grand in legal fees should the buyer pay with PayPal and dispute the sale. Worst case, of course, but a possibility nevertheless.

I have already seen many eBayers post "no paypal credit cards accepted", meaning they only accept cash when transferred out of someone's checking account. Guess the credit card companies were raising hell about chargebacks and such.

Ugh. Cashless society my a$$.

They give you a dedicated pipe, but you can only use up to 500GB. So what happen to the rest of the 32.5TB of transfers. I mean if they dedicate it to you, they can't share it with someone else. But since they can't share it with someone else, why would they limit you to any bandwidth limit? It should say full dedicated 100mbit pipe with up to 33TB. I rest my case.

(I do hope no one is stupid enough to be tricked.)

The guy will never tell who actually hosts with him. Do you really expect him to say that he hosts child porn or illegal adult sites (assuming he does)? Note what he's saying:

SDO Services: a major video editing company
SDO Services: needs to store huge files
SDO Services: and needs tons of bandwidth

100Mbit dedicated line for that price is pretty nice though.... second....

I can remember a Boeing project, in which they where using remote engineering... I think that someone would need such a server for that. You need files of several GB's and you want them fast...

I think this guy is not messing around...

I've been doing professional video since 1998. I have not once ever thought to myself "gee, wouldn't it be swell if I could store all my video on a remote server somewhere."

DV takes 12 gig per hour of footage. D-1 is about 60 gig per hour. Forget about the missing 32TB pipe, what about the 30GB HD you get?

For $5750 I can buy the fastest 700GB SCSI RAID you've ever seen, or 4.5TB of external Firewire.

Is it my imagination or are one of their servers on Rackshack? Do a dns lookup on it, one of two ips it resolves to is EV1, and the other is some place in Canada. Interesting.

Can't load the site myself, guess the joke's over.

Whatever price/service you have, there will always be at least ONE idiot that will pay it. :rolleyes:

I am not defending the company at all, but that price for a DEDICATED 100MB connection is not that bad, with a server?

Do you know what a T3 line cost, which is 45mb, a good $10,000k USD per month.

A dedicated line mind you.

A dedicated line on Rackshack though? Or some canadian line? It seems logical to me they would put their website on their own servers, which if they were true SHOULD be in New Jersey, where they are. 3 locations?! Doesn't seem to fit to me.

I agree with this, what I don't agree with is where people think the price is whacked in regard to a dedicated 100mb line.

Yes, their deal does look fishy, a 100mb connection for $5500 bucks month, hmmm. When T3's (45mb) are close to $10,000 per month.

This should be posted as one of the BEST dedicated server deals on WHT ::rollseyes:: ;)

This is part of the reason I left WHT, Hosts ripping up hosts. You guy's should be concerned about running your own business and not judging other people's.

If it's pure cogent that will cost them $3000 per month for a 100mb line. So it would still be profitable. And not every server will use up the 100mb every month!

But why restrict users to 500GB when you dedicate a 100mb line to them? It simply doesn't make sense.

Who cares how big the "dedicated line" is when you only get 500G of transfer? 500G is 500G, ok so you have a 100mbit line (probably to the switch haha could say the same for every one of my servers!) but you get 500G.

Oh jeeze come on people they're using a rackshack server, $5750 per month for 30G and 500G? Dedicated 100mbit? haha oh come on you're not telling me anyone takes it seriously? $5750 a month?

Not only that, how can you make any money off a $5750/mo. server?

If anyone had that much money to spend on ded server w/ 100mbit, they probably would just buy their own line:)

Dude it's a rackshack server they are on, still think it's worth $5750 a month?

And their other ip is at a place called "Bigpipe" never heard of them but the name is kinda cute.

Granted if they actually have people paying this more power to them, my hats off to them if so!

Marketing gimmick people. Put some very high fees for a so called large/profession/enterprise plan and the small (sometimes uneducated) guy that comes by is conned into thinking that they are a big player. Probably trying to build a brand the shotgun method. Dont fall for it! ;)

He's already defined his market (see above):

SDO Services: a major video editing company
SDO Services: needs to store huge files
SDO Services: and needs tons of bandwidth

Just think what kind of business would have huge video files stored for delivery on the net?? ;)

To be fair...

If this host wants to set high prices, thinks they can get high prices or are actually getting high prices, isn't that fair enough and their own concern?

What concern is it of ours and what right does that give people to abuse the host and their customers via live chat programs?

I don't think we have the right to judge what someone else is charging for their products/services. In the end regardless of the price (whether high or low) some clueless person will end up buying the product and theres hardly anything we can do about it. Just my 0.02$.

first of, I'm resurecting this thread since it is funny, and 2 I think it's BS, if they charge that much for the services, could they at least get a better website?

That is the biggest rip off I have ever seen in my life. What sap would pay for any of the services they offer..My god I still cant belive that

oh yea 4pm-10pm.. sounds like the time he gets out of school until his bed time :-D

Take notice folks! This is exactly the kind of CRAP that has brought down the quality of WHT. What the hell business is it of this guy's if some hosting company charges more money than he's used to? What right does he have to attempt to ridicule the man? WHAT PLANET DO THESE PEOPLE COME FROM?????

Obviously it's a planet where common sense and good manners don't exist, because this is just off the wall.

I would think of it as a good deal if I get my other 37 Terrabytes, but it's only 500 GB, I mean GOOD LORD!!!, and a case like that at the high-end would probably have 2 TB of harddrive space, AT LEAST!!!

I used to do some work for a company that paid $150 a month to Pacific Bell for 50 megs of hard disk space and 8 gigs transfer. In fact, I think an awful lot of companies will just go to the first name they can think of when it comes to getting Internet service. After all, $150 a month doesn't SOUND that bad for a website.

Owen

In fact, the guys at SBC are stull up to their old tricks: http://webhosting.com/pages/dedicated/biz.shtml

People are way too trusting of the phone company.

Owen

The trick is, busnesses pay that because they think they get better service/support from a big name telco.

The company I worked for before going full time in the webhosting biz was paying 175.00 a month for 50 MB of space, no cgi/php/mysql - nothing, 50 MB of space. On top of that they had to run their email server in house.

It took some talking to get them to host with me because I am not a "NAME". They wanted a big name not joe-blow.net hosting co. Eventually I did, based on ten years working there. I saved them a bit and they are really happy about it. And they now have got better uptime, and no in house email server.

SBC, a name you can trust, yeah right.

SBC, rings a bell, but I can't remember it

??????

***sorry wrong post***

Some of you people are seriously goofy, What right do you have to critisise other peoples business? If he was spamming or offering unlim bandwidth then i'd be up for a bit of fun here and there but this has gone too far.

Well, I'm not agree that his pricing is good or anything, but I think it's strange that you all seem to think his pricing is absurdly high. It's not, not for big business.

A local client I'm working on taking over from my brother in law runs a Catholic church forum (2 gigs of space, 150 Gigs of transfer) and they are paying $950 a month to have it hosted on a dedicated 650mhz / 256mb ram.

That's high in my eyes, but only to the average "I want **** cheap market", to the biz world, $950 a month is nothing (ecspecially with government funding such as this church). While around here no one would definitly pay for that, when you can get 500 GB of transfer for $60 a month from joe blow by posting a request, to think local/online business would not pay $1-15k a month to have sites online is just ludicrious ....

Another one of my friends owns a local printing company (logos, newspaper, etc). I offered to get his company online since they are not. I offered to design/maintain/host his site for $50 a month and he thought I was joking. He thought it would cost a few hundred a month to have a site sit online that just had pictures of his store and his phone number/address on it.

As I said, for normal users and non-business hosting is thought of as dirt cheap, to any business that has stores, employees, etc, hosting is thought of as expensive, atleast from my experiences, and I've talked to about 4 local churches/6 local stores about getting them online within the last 2 months or taking them over from the company my brother in law works for who is getting out of hosting but has over 450 clients.

About 5-10 local businesses or entities (Churches, whatever) would bring in more money than 50-100 average webmasters would.

Different hosts go for different markets. I wouldn't recommend sticking to the low budget hosting that's around today (most people on this forum), but many people lack the skill/desire to submit proposals to local companies, which is where the money is.

$5000+ is no doubt a rip off. My only point to this reply was that if you take the time (put on your tie, get out your biz card and write up some documents) and submit well laid out proposals and/or meet and have conferences with local entities you will no doubt find bigger money than anywhere else.
