Guys,

I have just made up some hosting plans together with the pricing. Please take note, I'm not spamming, okay? No URL nor the company name is included in this post.

Give me your comments. This packages will be hosted on Alabanza servers. I'm not sure whether my prices are abit higher but I'm trying to get some staff to help to make my support team as good as possible.

Thank you.

Andrew:

You have posted here a few times, so it would be nice to register, as it gives you more credibility.

Though, the packages sounds good, and I would sign up with one of those myself.

Agreed with Adam about signing up. There's not much difference except for the credibility factor, and you can edit your msgs if you get anything wrong. Of course, you may object to all the legalese, but as long as you don't make any trouble you should be fine :)

As for the plans, Andrew, they are quite reasonable for an Alabanza-based host. Although I know of other hosts which are a bit cheaper, you should be able to stand out (and have absolutely no problems justifying the higher prices) by offering first class, professional and friendly tech support. If so, you should be fine and be able to succeed.

Just don't expect to see your investments returned in full for the first few months, that's all - just ask Annette or any other Alabanza hosts around here :D

I agree with BC. At least when we got our Alabanza server, we were making enough to cover the costs. Don't expect to make a landslide business for the first 2 months or so.

I think that your packages are quite reasonably priced and the features seem to be good as well.

If I were you I'd register my name as well.

BC is correct, to a point. Those of us fortunate enough to be in a position to cover the costs fully before starting are in a bit of a better position (one of the benefits of being in the IT field). However, those of us fortunate enough to be able to offer the kind of service that people are looking for are also in the position of having the business be self-sustaining almost immediately.
