Hi Art,

Please take this as contructive criticism, and not just criticsm.

I feel that Web Hosting Industry Index actually does a dis-service to it's users/browsers, by offering pricing based only on disk space and transfer traffic assignments.

I do like the idea in general, but I feel that putting the price based solely on disk and traffic is very misleading to a user that doesn't know better than to assume he should only shop on disk/traffic.

Many companies base their pricing on the actual packages they are selling, with disk/traffic being a secondary item in their pricing model.

It's almost as if the site is saying: this is what you should pay for xxx MB disk space, and xxxxMB transfer traffic.

If I take Linux reseller as an example:
As a visitor to Web Hosting Industry Index, I am to assume that a normal price (as of right now) for 75GB of transfer traffic, and 6GB of disk space is $33 (All I can say to that is: Ouch!)

I think that should you add more feature-based columns (providing each contributing provider was honest) then you would be able to give a clearer look at what a user would/should expect to pay, based on their requirements.
