Hello,

Would you rather choose a dedicated server company that provide fast speed & unlimited transfer and expensive pricing; or rather choose a company that provide slower speed & unlimited transfer and cheap pricing?

Fast: USA local speed like 1Mb/s?
Slow: 20kb/s because server is located overseas
Expensive: $149USD/month
Cheap: $69USD/month

IRC allowed also if this is the main case.

**THIS IS ONLY A SURVEY**

Thanks

I will prefer fast server, but many people will only look at price.

Off topic, I think having a knowledgable tech will help you to keep and get more customers.

Well true, I was going to get Equinix in Hong Kong but then the price is.....well for us is a shock...for some of others..*aww is cheap stuff*

So from that point, different perspective has different mind..some look at money some look at performance!

To Pang:
Pro tech...yes we will hire a pro tech once we get over 10 long-term clients =)

I've been two years with a HK company. Excellent support and practically no downtime. But limited BW.

If it is a limited BW, then i bet this company is a very top quality and expensive..in some mind~
