Hi everyone

I’m in the process of considering to start up a internet hosting business out of Australia.

So at the moment I am doing some research on wether there is a market for my services. So I thought what better place to get feed back on some of the plans I would offer then here.

I am wondering if anyone who has a website, whether they can let me know wether they would be interested in using some of my plans.

Here are two basic plans that I have come up with. I have more detailed higher end plans, which I would be able to send to you if you wanted. But for the purpose of this market research I thought I would see what reaction there is to these bread and butter plans.

Both plans will be asp script enabled.

PLAN 35
One of set up fee of $50(Australian) Around $30US
Monthly fee $35(AUS) Around $18US
This would give you
Unlimited download traffic from the server to anyone.
50mb upload to the server per month. Excess mb’s will be charge at 18cents per meg

For email as well it will cost $140AUS one off yearly fee Around $80 US
For unlimited email accounts and bandwidth

PLAN 44
One of set up fee of $50(Australian) Around $30US
Monthly fee $44(AUS) Around $25US
This would give you
Unlimited download traffic from the server to anyone.
100mb upload to the server per month. Excess mb’s will be charge at 18cents per meg

For email as well it will cost $140AUS one off yearly fee Around $80 US
For unlimited email accounts and bandwidth

If you are interested in any of these plans or would like a customized quote to meet your needs. Please email me on.

Is this a request for what we think of your plans or a sneaky advertisement???

If you want input, here is what I have to say:

Do a search in here for unlimited bandwidth and see what people have to say about that. I also do not like the paying for email addys and for uploading more than a quota.

If this is an advertisement.....

Then read the rules around here and you will know what I (and I am sure a lot of other people) think about your company.....

Your pricing structure doesn't make sense to me. :confused:

I assume the servers will be in Aus, hence the unlimited download and limited upload..........

The plans could be ok, but the email part is not......I dont think you can justify charging a bunch more for email.......everyone expects it as part of the service.........(and there probably wont be many that will be $80US extra for email)

For a hosts opinion,,,,

That is the oddest pricing structure I think I have ever seen.

I have never seen a plan that you can load 100 mb more every month... sounds verry confusing. And the email... not sure why the huge added cost.

i think the mods will agree... the rules say NO CONTACT info in a post like this,,, in this forum. They belong in the hosting requests, or related offers and requests sections to have contact info in them... here,, you must remain unknown.

While it is common in North America to charge for bandwidth from the server to the the client and not from the client to the server, in many parts of the world (and I'm assuming Australia is one) the situation is reversed and it is traffic TO the server that is charged. There are places that also charge for traffic in both directions.
