Hello,

We are doing dedicated hosting and would like some opinions; what do you think I should charge for these 4 servers. What do you think is a reasonable price for the server as well as the software options??

On another note, please do not push it too low as I have 6 kids and 2 wifes to feed. j/k

Looking forward to your replies..

I might be wrong, but I don't think we're allowed to ask this type of stuff...

Could this be called as "Price Fixing"?

I posted similar questions on other forum and mod of that
forum deleted my post. Mod used the term "Price Fixing".

I argued with mod for a while, but, I gave up:(

No sense arguing with Mighty MOD:D

It, of course, depends on how much you get the servers for. You should at least make it worth your while offering dedicated servers, when you price them up, and have a look at competition, price them in a similar range, but make sure the customer believes they are getting more for their money from you.

Good luck,
Matt

Moderators...if this is not allowed please delete the post and sorry for the troubles.

We will only be offering Windows 2000 hosting no *nix for us. What I was asking was if anyone can let me know how much THEY are willing to pay for the service.

Please let me know how much YOU are willing to pay for such a service. I got my providers already but I would like to know how much would be reasonable to charge for such a service.
