Please give me feedback on these plans, thanks!

:beer:

Your prices are always three times as much as the bandwidth so you definitely won't go bankrupt. :D

It's just a matter of whether your support and services are of high enough quality to build a reputation that deserves that kind of pricing.

Just my opinion though. :) If you didn't want another host to reply to your thread, please PM me and I'll remove my comments. :)

That Interserver is a great deal. But remember to talk them down on pricing. They will go down to free IPs and 2/GB overage.

mastersites: Thanks for your comment. These plans are not the final ones yet. Like, i might add a few GB here and there, but what i don't want to do is to sell the bandwidth at $1/GIG. Even though most sites use an average of 100-1000MB per month (from what i have at least).

Get-Hosted.com: I think i got a great deal. I had $60 per month worth of bandwidth for free :)

Any others would care to comment?

The plans look pretty good and the prices are a good average in order to successfully stay in business and generate revenue :)

My suggestion

Plan 3: 5GB Transfer
Plan 4: 8GB Transfer
Plan 5: 15-20GB Transfer

I seriously think you might want to increase the bandwidth allowance for plan 5. There is not that much demand for it. But I am sure you dont want to missed out any potential customers....

My suggestion for the $3.95/mo plan is to offer a yearly
payment option.

You have to take care about the CC merchant charges so it would be preferable to offer yearly plans for low priced accounts. that way you benefit. By the way there will be less amount of work too.

Kiwi: thanks :)

freeva: Good idea. It doesn't adds too much bandwidth and looks better this way.

matra: That's what i thought. Something like 47.40 for the year or so.

Thanks all for your suggestions and comments! :)
