    The prices seem a little high to me, but I am not sure where they are located. I think that would play a factor in the pricing for me. I also think that it would help people evaluate the pricing better.

    I'd say they're competitive, but the pricing seems a bit high. Could sell with the right landing page and call to action. Was that jump from 75GB to 1TB of storage correct?

    Xen/unmanaged, new provider, so if you're asking me to compare, what makes your plans at all competitive with the likes of Linode and 6sync?
    What did you expect was going to happen?

    Those are my exact thoughts. Your prices are up there with the extremely well-known hosts. What is going to set you apart from those guys?

    Use Linode's pricing for good unmanaged xen plans, and you'll find you're paying much currently.

    I think that people in lower price range will care more about RAM than storage or transfer. If you can make a plan, say 512MB with 5GB storage, 30GB transfer and make it cheaper, say $12-$15 range, that would be quite helpful. I am not sure how it fits into your cost/pricing model though.
