 | View Full Version : Low bandwidth plans? MCHost-Marc 06-22-2001, 01:01 AM I was wondering ...i don't see many hosts offering low-bandwidth plans? Like 500MB's per month & account. That would be perfect for small, low traffic websites ...personal sites or people with a low budget. or would that scare people away? :D Chicken 06-22-2001, 01:15 AM What would be the point? I hope not cheaper monthly cost, as the latest slew of plans to come through pretty much are about as low as you can get without being free. MCHost-Marc 06-22-2001, 01:25 AM Well, you can't charge more for less bandwidth :D But i've seen 500MB & 750MB Plans at AffordableHosting.com ... topp 06-22-2001, 06:48 AM Lots of UK hosts offer 500mb plans.... But they are just as expensive as the 5gig plans in the US :D But I think it would be nice for the bigger hosts to offer low transfer plans for very small sites (which i believe many sites are). Billing could be quarterly for example... If I'd need to build a small site I'd like it to be hosted by a reputable company but not with their 20meg / 5gig transfer -plan.

The thing to remember is not just to sell very cheap hosting accounts - but to make sure that you offer reasonable plans for the money...and to back it up with good support. --Tina Chicken 06-22-2001, 09:08 AM Originally posted by AffordableHost ...without the ING tina, I didn't realize it before, but since you pointed that out in the chat that day, I see what you mean about the 'ing' thing :( AH-Tina 06-22-2001, 09:42 AM Originally posted by Chicken tina, I didn't realize it before, but since you pointed that out in the chat that day, I see what you mean about the 'ing' thing :( Yeah, I wonder how much traffic he's getting because of it. I tried to buy it from him - but no dice. :( --Tina creepcolony 06-22-2001, 10:53 AM portland.co.uk's free hosting has a 100mb bandwidth limit :eek: MCHost-Marc 06-22-2001, 11:43 AM Originally posted by AffordableHost It's http://www.affordablehost.com - without the ING --Tina Oops, i'm sorry :uhh: AH-Tina 06-22-2001, 11:56 AM Originally posted by Kiwi Oops, i'm sorry :uhh: No problem! :) --Tina |
