What do you guys think about these packages? Any feed back on the design of these packages will be appreciated. If this is in the wrong section please remove it. http://www.cahostnet.com/packages.html

I think this belongs in the Advertising forum.

woah...gives me a headache.

so hard to read.

pls make a clearer summary

Sugestion:

Make an html table that contains this data. A lot more people would take the time to review it if you did that.

If I were you, I'd make an HTML table and post the link. The easier you make it for people to respond, the more responses you are going to get.

Sorry about that guys. Check it out here http://www.cahostnet.com/packages.html

Any suggestions? I've added a link to this for better viewing? If this is consider bumping up the post, I'm sorry but people couldn't read the origional post and Ill like to get a chance for people to respond. This is not an advertisement.

The prices are a little high compared to some of the hosts on this board...but outside of this board, they are pretty good.

I know you didn't ask for a design critique, but I do have a couple of suggestions:

1. For some of the more obscure terms, you may want to put a link that opens a little pop-up window with a 2 line definition.

2. On the off-chance that someone finds thise page by itself, you really should put in some sort of navigation bar, so they can get back to your home page.

We will be working on the defination part of the site in the near future.

For navigation, are you talking about "HOME" link?

Thanks for your suggestions. We'll consider this. Also packages may change but we're not looking to change prices. I'll add features into the plans to make the prices worth the price but we're not looking to get into the $2.99 or $5.00 market.

Thanks,
Ben

At least...there is no real definition on the page as to who you are at all...somthing that keeps the feel of your front site etc...a nice site template is always good.

I completely understand and agree with that sentiment :).

Looks fine from here :D

Thanks again guys. We have a site design. A new one that has been developed. I didn't want to make this an advertisement that's why I didn't include the whole thing. I just wanted to concentrate on these packages and plans.

Thanks for your comments. Keep them coming!

You don't have to get into the 5 buck market, but you could up the disk space and bandwidth, I would say double the disk space for each offer, 10 a month is high o 25 mg, but could be ok for 50mb and co on, and add half the bandwidth, for example with the 25mg plan, you offer 2000mg, uping that to 3000mb a month would be good. 10 dollors a month for 50mb disk space and 3000mg, is sellable

so you would be looking at 25 to 50, 150 to 300 , 250 to 500, and maybe for the 400mb plan go to a gig.
bandwidth 2000 to 3000 , 8000 to 16000, 15 to 30,000, 25 to 50,


disk space is cheap, and it seems bandwidth is getting cheaper daily.


Thank you

Man, where are you getting your prices!! :) I wish I could get some. Bandwidth costs are not getting cheaper in my neck of the woods!!! :) I wish I could afford to offer those bandwidth. I'm not going to offer anything that I can't deliver, it's not worth the hasle.

As far as disk space, yes it's cheap. You see our system is not like any others that you may know. It's not a one server configuration. We run a three tier achitecture, we have a web server, mail server, dns servers etc. The disk space you see there is for web data, you also get space for mySQL as well as mail. When you add all of this up each account gets additional 400-500 disk space, depending on the package you choose. This is why the web data is what it is. I orrigionally had them where you recommended, and I may still do that but for now, I'll stick with that.

For what I've heard here I think the packages are fine. I'm not really after getting 100's of signups a day. I can't support that kind of load at this time. And anything like will only cause problems anyways. I rather get a few accounts that I can really support and really understand what they want and what we can deliver. If anyone wants disk space that bad and they can't offord it, I'll work something out what that person. However, I think the diskspace allocated are fine for most large sites. Disk space doesn't make a site, if it's dynamic, they wll be fine with even 10 megs but if it's dynamic then they may need more but that's when a database setup comes in which they get a seperate disk allocation for! Hope this helps to explain more of how our systems are setup.

Another important note, you can't base a price on just disk space and bandwidth. In hosting there are other things to consider and disk space and bandwidth are just a few of them. Although they are want most people concentrate on. Just an FYI, my main site doesn't even use anything over 10 megs...!!!

Thanks....
