"NO BANDWIDTH OR TRANSFER FEES!"

This is what it says here (http://www.eastcoastservers.com/ecsservers.html)

Obviously, this isn't true...but, has anyone dealt with this company?

http://www.eastcoastservers.com/

All servers are burstable to 1.54 megabits.

Still seems a little too good to be true...

How can EastCoastServers not charge for bandwidth or transfer fees?

Many factors are involved:

No 800 number
No software Tech support staff.
We provide the hardware and the bandwidth. You do the rest.
Location, location, location. We are located in a small town in southern Delaware that has access of a lot of Fiber. Translation: Cheap rent and as much bandwidth as we want to buy.
We use standard PC hardware. No proprietary equipment here. At 3:00am we can swap a motherboard or powersupply in a few minutes.

Interesting :)

It's in the FAQ :)

But I guess the question is whether all their clients are sharing that 1.54 megabits...

I would say...this is not a good deal.

Any disagree?

There were some extremly negative comments about this company a couple of months ago, you might do a search.

Do they also give you a golden ticket to Willy Wonka's factory? Too good to be true always is. The only way they can make that statement is to bundle it in, but even so, that statement is just not true. Cheers.

How much bandwidth do I get?

All servers are burstable to 1.54 megabits.

at http://www.eastcoastservers.com/ecsfaq.html

this probably means you can use 1,5 mbit's what means you can make max around 400GB
you simply cant do more
or maybe as he says "ALL" servers .... maybe 10 or 20 servers are on 1,5 mbit so you get in best case 40GB or less

of course these are only my calculations !!!

There's a discussion at http://webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=5855&highlight=eastcoastservers.com that may shed some light on this company. Part of it is missing, though, perhaps later removed by the owner of the company. If it was a movie, I'd say the language and violence were edited to get a PG 13 rating. There are definitely parts missing,
I remember his petulant attitude and when he said "I was going to change the [incorrect] terms, but..." and then he said something like we thought he was a liar so why should he bother.

It was not an attitude that inspired confidence.

Why is everybody so negative about UNLIMITED BANDWIDTH? I mean, I host with www.ewsnl.com and I take a LOT of bandwidth with all my sites...and yet I still havent paid a dime extra...:stickout

Unlimited on dedicated server?


Where...where...where...... :eek:

check the bottom of the page and you will see this

** Only monthly bandwidth charges will apply after first year using our rent to own program. Currently at a rate of $149.00/month for usage up to 65Gig transfer. No Buyouts are offered if client does not fulfill the full year term. All rent to own fees will be forfeited by the client if service is terminated prior to the 1 or 2 year term.

I do not think that people are thinking negative about free bandwidth. Just people know that it's, for the most part, a hoax or some kind of disclaimer like this.
