Guys take a look at this page.
I nearly flipped when I see their pricing scheme.
Makes me wonder if their servers are gold plated.

10Mb webspace on our webserver with FTP access. Includes PHP scripting capability and SSI support on request. CGI-BIN access is also included. 250Mb of data transfer per month included.


250 MB data transfer per month... lol :D:confused:

This one is even better:

Additional 100Mb of data transfer on the virtual server. Payable if your virtual server recorded data transfer goes over its initial 250Mb allocation.
£10+vat


:laugh: :dunce:

With their prices, I'd be paying about $5000/month for my service.

Also, this is funny:
Includes PHP scripting capability and SSI support on request.

Where are all the people now that always yell "you get what you pay for"? :D

I suppose if you pay this kind of money you get A LOT ;)

This must be true quality bandwidth. They'll probably lay new cable in the ground directly from your server to each new customer that signs up

"You get what you pay for" is a general rule, and not a replacement for common sense. ;)

There is nothing wrong with there pricing.

If you dont like it then dont use them.

But are they collecting those prices...if so, I am envious of their business acumen.

The worst thing is that you will get people who do not know better and will pay these prices....shocking.

Just so I can one time charge such prices.

Keep in mind though, that the Australian dollar is worth about half of one American dollar.

I wouldnt be surprised if giant hosts like Verio and such charges that amount but from the impression of the website it just doesnt give me the impression that they have direct fiber optic line connected to their servers.

Sometimes you DONT get what you pay for.
This is when people decided to drastically overcharge their products.
If someone tries to make you buy his/her Pentium 1 processor for US$500 will you buy it? But the sad thing about webhosting is many unwary customers DO get conned for drastically overpriced hosting services.
