50 gig for $5 a month? I don't think you'll get 'good' web hosting anywhere for that price. $50 a month would be getting closer.

Hello,

First, welcome to WHT hope you have fun in here.

Second, it is my personal point view. Good hosting can't give you this price comparably to your request (especially bandwidth), so if you really serious to go with a good hosting company, think to pay a little plus to save alot headache after.

Best Regards,

How about matrix-studio.com can I go with it?

You can - however I and a lot of other folks here are going to tell you that you cannot buy bandwidth that cheaply. Just can't. If you're looking for a quality host, consider paying more or lowering your requirements.

Here today, gone tomorrow. Overselling services big time.

Okay, so they've been around for 2+ years, and are located at RackShack. With those prices, they're banking that you WON'T use 100 gigs. If they had 12 customers using 100 gigs at $9.95 a month, that's less than $120.00 a month. Even on a higher end Dual Xeon, that server costs $239.00 a month (cheapest 1200 gigs a month plan). They're losing money on that.

In THIS particular case, they have 23 clients available. (www.whois.sc/matrix-studio.com) If they're all using 100 gigs, that's 1100 gigs over monthly allocation.

1100 x $0.75 per gig is is $825. Add the $239 and you get a grand total of $1,064. If all customers are paying $9.95, that's a gross income of $228.85, leaving a negative balance of $835.15. NOT a smart business decision. I honestly don't see how they could support all of these accounts under those plans.

Just something to think about.
