57 gigs overage would Cost ???
 

Cost me 228 USD which cost me fucking 360 canadian.... Time to drop my Host!

was that kikko.com?

We had the same prob. Hosting was good value but overages were a stupid price ($5). Now on Candid :)

Won't they just upgrade you to the next plan?

Adultdata.net

Yeah think its time to move all my sites over to Candid now... fuck me, talk about pissing away money eh? I could of got a month of dedicated or so for my smaller sites

check cologroup.com ...Jason got a nice price and uptime there

2.50 was the base rate per gig! and 4 was the overage.... jesus..... I only ever had small sites on their and never went over, but they started to grow and bamn, I got smacked hard

Let me know if you have any questions or need a quote.

If I had an advertising account with http://www.phatservers.net I'd spam it.

like this?

PHATSERVERS

Go with Cologroup, $.50 overages.

It would have cost you $28.50 total from cologroup or $57 from thumbnail gallery host.

What are overages on Phatservers?

Shoplifter feel free to email or call me with any questions.
Same goes for you pipecrew.

Summer is coming...It is going to get VERY tight for alot of webmasters....This will be the worst of any, as the evidence is already here.

is it easy to export all my databases full of trades and gallery software to a new server?

i use xxxwebhoting.com for dedicate server .
and they charge 1.5 USD per gig only. And my host down time 0.01 % :)

My server (on the host I am leaving) was down 32 hours and 15 minutes in 10 days, I was forced to rebuild my traffic 6 times

Beware of Cogent.

Thats all I have to say...

I'm on bluegravity.com and Paying 2.5 GB
but they told me prices will lower soon.
I'm getting pissed off cause i know damn well other places are cheaper and have the same uptime.

If i can't get 1.5 - 2 per GB then I'll need to find someone else. Wish I didn't need to move, but I simply can't stay with a company over-charging me.

What is the highest price per GB that is still within reason to pay?
I think anything over $2 GB is a bad deal.

Check out our Virtual pricing and our Dedicated Servers. $450 for 5/Mbps (upto 1600 gigs) and a Dedicated server. Thumbserver Hosting

wassup fellas,
been a lurker for quite some time, but decided it was time to come out and join the fun.
this is so funny because the same thing happened to me with webair. when i initially signed my contract, a couple years ago, i was locked in at a $5 dollar per gig overage. so when my contract ended i didn't care to renogociate it, and sure enough last month, i was 106 gig over (or so they claimed).
to make a long story short, i am dealing with travis @ candid hosting to move all my stuff over by the end of the week. candid hosting can hook you up for about $1.50 a gig overage with a one year contract. get a couple boxes there, one for traffic, one for content and you're ready to rock. my 2 cents

now let me hear the gfys :)

Please tell us your bad experiences with Cogent cause I am sure some of us would like to hear about it .

Welcome alchemist, now GFY :321GFY

I used to go with xxxwebhost:321GFY

Whats wrong with cogent? Give us the scoop?

You guys do realize that $1.50/Gig is roughly $300-$480 a Megabit right?

Take Cogent for example. Your bandwidth cost is from $10/Mbps - $30/Mbps depending if you go with a 100/Mbps line or the Gigabit. That's a huge drop in overhead. If your worried about Cogent downtime then make sure the host is multihomed with a Tier 1 provider like Verio, Level3 or Above.net. If you're a smart webmaster you'd be interested in lowering your overhead to increase your profit margin.

Keep in mind that a hosts cost is not just it's bandwidth but the rent for the facility, rackspace, power, staff, office, routers (for the leet hosts), switches and new servers.

Go to www.datahosters.com Verio BW and plans starting at 28.50 dollars for 30GB 95 cents per GB overusage, pland goes as low as 0.50 per GB

I see everyone spamming and giving misinformation.

But no one answered pipecrews question.

Pipecrew..this is not a problem. It is done al the time.

Cologroup (cogent) - .50 cents/GB
ISPrime (premium) - $1/GB

Both prices are overages.

Both are awesome hosts. I use ISPrime for pic galleries and Cologroup for movie galleries. I've never seen them down!

Thanks, I am doing it tonight :thumbsup so hopefully it goes off without a problem!

27$ here ;)

ROFL :1orglaugh

didn't u think to check what they charged for overage before you signed up?

These were just small sites, pushed less then 200 gigs a month, they just grew too fast, traffic to them trippled in under 10 days

PipeCrew, if you ICQ me, I can get you some good pricing. If you don't want Cogent, I can set you up with a mutli-homed service using Level3, Genuity, Verio, and Cogent. It picks the best route.

I have not launched the service yet, but it goes up on Friday next week. It will be under a $1/Gig. Also, it will be on clustered servers and with 100 % uptime guarantee.

Let me know.
