isn't $599.95 per month + a $600 setup fee a bit much for just a normal 250 meg 10 gig transfer virtual account?

look here:

you could buy at least four decent DEDICATED servers at this cost.

Have you looked at their dedicated hosting Prices yet :) 1800$/month and $3500.00 Setup for 100gb of traffic, and a server ( a nice server.. but still .. thats a bit steep. The Setup fee alone will pay for the server itself almost :)

if you go over your monthly bandwidth, it's $.05 per meg.

$.05*1024 = $51.20 PER GIG!

i guess these prices are damn expensive, but if they have like 3 customers, they're set.

You can get the same thing at HostRocket for like $20 a month. Ridiculous.

I'm a poor man. Can you please give that for $ 600 a month and $300 setup fee please?

I found a more expensive plan for 10 GB traffic at http://www.australink.net/hosting.html . Australink's price is "Just $40.00 per month!! ($55.00 setup fee) You will be paying only 50c per megabite of data transfer in excess of 300, and that's it."

So 10 GB of traffic is $40 + 9,700MB extra traffic at 50c/MB for a grand total of $4,890 per month.

*lol*

Trust an Australian ISP to come to the rescue and be the best! Also looking at their ghastly site design I'm guessing the following is right up there too:

"Your Investment? $690.00 for four pages, three illustrations, guestbook, order form, one email address, and six months free maintenance."

They are Australia's only Multi Level Marketing ISP too according to the front page... Maybe that's not something to be too proud of...
