Preserved Topic: 30GB transfers

Is 30GB a month transfers pretty nice size?
Regular corporate website, no files to upload or download.

Well, I'm not exactly sure if that's a good size or not, but assuming your entire page is about 1 MB, then that will allow 30,720 downloads of your page. Assuming each download is a unique user, then that's 30,720 hits per month.

I think that's plenty since I don't expect that many hits

That's plenty of bandwidth (especially compared to DreamHost's 5Gb that Doc has on his sites that are hosted on DH)...

Damn... well.. since Doc get's 5GB and I am sure he get's lots of hits then 30GB will be more what I need LOL

Don't forget that Doc's main site (ozones.com) is not hosted at DreamHost (it's hosted on VISI). Also, Asylum once exceeded that limit, and DH had to increase bandwidth after Doc sent them a few e-mails...

Yah, but my Dreamhost problems were more a... problem in communication, heh. FYI, the Asylum eats about 5 gigs/month, and Handson ets maybe 6-9 gigs, depnding. The primary OZONE site would just *barely* fit into that 30 gig/month cap, that's about average for that site, though it's a bit lower in the summer, and will probably jump up to 45 gigs in winter. In my experience you'll probably *never* touch your 30 gigs. Unless you want to host a porno site on their somewhere, heh.

Your pal, -doc-

Heh. no porn Doc... just me and my little business.

I am working on some hosting packages that I will provide soon. Perhaps when I am done you guys could review them and tell me what you think? Ok?

Uh oh - now someone else is going to be doing hosting as well? Hmmmm....better get out the voodoo dolls and chicken blood......

Pugzly, I gotta admire your restraint in the hosting sales dept. So many people in your position would be beating us over the head with their groovy wares and making everyone uncomfortable. Well, come to think of it that wouldn't be too good a sales technique around here... well done anyhow. Do you have a published hosting plan page or something?

Jason

hey hey hey! Easy there... I am not trying to sell anything here...didn't even crossed my mind.

Right now I am reviewing some plans that other companies have. Don't even have a full running page yet, so no JK, I don't have any listings yet.

The reason I asked if you guys could review them when I have it up and running is that from experts point of view I wanted to know what you would think about the packages... that's all.. no sales here.

Hi Ducati, all.

seems 30 gb a good number...I never looked into hosting plans, but I wonder where can i get such hosting plans with PHP support and stuff?

Thanks.
