Hi, we are just about to launch and i would like some feedback on our prices.

http://www.horizonhosting.co.uk/hosting.php

The basic details are:

WIN2k (monthly)

$7
50mb, 2gb

$15
150mb, 5gb

$20
200mb,10gb

$28
500mb, 20gb

$42
1gb,30gb



LINUX

$7
50mb, 500mb

$14
100mb/1gb

$20
150mb,4gb

$28
200mb,6gb

$49
250mb,10gb


How do they compare?

Sorry for this stupid question
But why are yous linux plans more expensives than your Windows?

BTW, Your prices looks ok.

i had a feeling that would come up. Basically it costs me more for my linux server.

Im not sure what the best way to get round that is. Any advice gratefully received. :)


thanks

I also noticed this.

Windows: 30 Gb transfer for $42 is ultracheap

Linux: 10 Gb transfer for $49 is expensive


???

yeah i am not too sure what to put. I am happy with the Win2k prices but the linux ones are too high. :confused:

I would make the Window more expensive then.

$14
50mb, 2gb

$20
150mb, 5gb

$28
200mb,10gb

$38
500mb, 20gb

$53
1gb,30gb

something like that

If i were to increase the prices would people be willing to pay that much more though?

That's totally blew me apart? How so? The hardware costs the same (if not more expensive for windows since windows is more resource hog). Software is much more expensive under windows. Yet you can offer cheaper price on windows hosting? I am also planning to offer windows hosting, but to start it with one server (together with software) it will costs me about starting linux hosting with 2 or 3 servers.

cheers,
:beer:

I thought people would ask. Basically without giving things away that i shouldn't it's to do with deals i have with the supplier of each server. The Win2k works out cheaper.

This is just a friendly reminder to people that anything like this has to go into the Advertising Forums.

Ok, could it be moved then please.

Personally i don't see why it should be moved because if i end up changing my plans and increase prices it wont look good. At least in here i can get good advice from other hosts.:)

I think this is on the level of acceptable, he is not trying to get customers by asking "Would you be interested in blah blah blah...?", he justs wants other hosts to give him feedback concerning his plans.

But its up to the mods to decide :)

"Participants may not solicit the membership for feedback or suggestions on their product or services."

Is a pricing plan a product or service?

Anyway, I'm with one_web, raise the prices on the windows plans. :)

I like Windows pricings.

Do you have MS Access on your Windows plans?
I went to your site, but couldn't find anything about MS Access database.

:cool:

I don't make the rules. It just states that you can't do this. I cannot move this so you will have to wait for Chicken to come on. He usually appears around 5 - 6pm

Asia- you have a reply via PM. (i didnt want to be seen to be advertising here)

What happened to your W2K plans??? Just Redhat now on your site as what I can see.
