Please take a look at the plans that I offer...what do you guys think of them? Are they competitive, normal, or a rip?
I'm asking cuz someone else said they are a rip, but at the same time I see a LOT of other hosts charging more...
What do you guys think? Are my plans good? Or should I drop the prices?
Thanks :)

I think that they're too cheap. I would pay a lot more for those plans especially if the service and support was good too. Look at the veoweb.net plans, I host with them. Even though they're more expensive than some hosts here, the support is the best I've seen so to me its worth the premium...and besides, we're not talking 1000s of dollars either.

I'd have to agree with BrianF, seems a bit on the low side (pricing wise), but obviously price is relative to your target market.
For 100MB/4GB I'd expect to pay $10-$15
For 450MB/15GB about $25-$30
For 800MB/25GB about $40-$60
It really depends on who you are targeting however. There is not such thing as the 'right' price. Surely the pricing isn't a 'rip' though. You generally have to pay a certain amount for quality services (at least from a sales standpoint, that should be your pitch).
I aim for $20/mo for 100MB/5GB personally (which is why I don't post packages on the forum, as well as I don't do this full-time like you guys do, and I have other things I have to do which must come first). If I posted a package here offering 100MB and 5GB of transfer for $20, you think they'd go like hotcakes, heh?
I'd rather have 30 people paying $20 than 100 people paying $6.

heh. now the problem is to get people buying. heh
what bugs me the most though is that people see the offers and they see that the bandwidth isn't "unlimited"...cmon, what host is gonna let you use unlimited bandwidth? I'd like to see a host that will keep an account open if they use 20 gigs a day. lol. but yeah. where are u gonna find a super fast host (ONLY OC lines...no DS) and on a stable server (cobalt) with unlimited bandwidth an cheap prices
heh. oh well. i think i should just sell yearly packages. those seem to attract the most attention. what do u think?

Discounted yearly option (have both), though your prices seem pretty discounted already, so adjust as necessary.
