I don't know if this is the correct forum to ask this, Please mod, feel free to move it.

I'm thinking in start a reseller plan in sexy-hosting.com

Since I can't offer discount in the packages (we are almost in the limit, is suicide play the average game with adult hosting)

I was thinking in release this plan, please tell me what do you think.

1st Package

1 GB Space
20 GB Bandwidth
10 IPs
unlimited Ipless accounts
unlimited email
unlimited mysql database
unlimited subdomain.
bla bla bla...

$100/month

2 Gb Space
40 GB Bandwidth
20 Ips
unlimited Ipless accounts
unlimited email
unlimited mysql database
unlimited subdomain.
bla bla bla...

$180/month

extra Bandwidth GB $3/month
$2.75 extra GB in 20 Gb blocks pre buyed.
$2.50 extra GB in 50 GB blocks pre buyed.

Is this too expensive? Keep in mind that is adult hosting, is not the same than normal hosting.

Thanks in advance for your help

Hi,

Your plans look good. Not too expensive, not too cheap, just perfect. With adult hosting, your simply can't play the average game, and i am sure the adult webmasters/hosts/resellers know it.

Good luck with your plans!

Most successful adult sites will consume that bandwith only using a fraction of the hard disk space (One friend does 100-300GB from 60MB). Then again there are sites which dont make it at all.

What a lot of webmasters are wary of is bandwith overage pricing, there are some insane prices being charged out there. If you can give peace of mind that overages arent going to destroy adult webmasters profit margins that will be a good feelgood feature. Especially if the resellers feel they too can make a percentage on the bandwith then no-ones risking the averages game then. Your overage rate looks really good, there are companies out there coining 3 - 4 times that rate.

I think it is a little bit expensive.


The additional bandwidth price is very reasonable.
But for $180, people might as well get their own dedicate. Oh well, it just my opinion.

I don't think its too expensive. Its about the same prices we have on our reseller plans. Keep in mind that 85% of the resellers will use up 100% + of their bandwidth ...and yes, they can get their own dedicated server. Dedicated servers are cheaper than managed servers/plans because the provider doesn't needs to maintain the server. Any host that plays the resources game on a reseller/adult plan won't be in business for long.

Maybe can I lower the price to $80 for the first and $160 for the second, but not less than that.
Because if I do it, I earn nothing :(

I wouldn't lower it. An adult webmaster is either clever (he knows his business, he knows hosting and he knows the average game they know that they) or not.
If not, he will not stay long in business.

Yes, you're right Walter :)

Although I have a doubt.

How do you people that are offering that kind reseller plans, gives to your resellers limited space and bandwidth with WHM.
