....Or, I know that I have mutiple servers and on average I get 1 of the 500GB signups for every 75-80 lower plans, meaning, on a 700GB metered bandwidth server, I still have 200GB to allocate with the 10 and 25GB plans.

Bandwidth is easy to oversell however, I didn't mention anything about bandwidth, I know many people that charge enough in their plans to actually PAY for the overage in bandwidth. I am setup the same way, I charge enough to pay for the overage in bandwidth.

Now, space on the other hand is something that should not be as oversold as in this thread, notice I sell 100MB for 5.95 a month, they are selling over 1 GB for that much.

Tough to swap a hard drive... not tough to buy more bandwidth.

My point is made, I'm not going to argue with the companies out there that give the industry a bad reputation, I hear every day from hundreds of clients that their last company screwed them because they advertised 2GB of space and when they used more than 50MB the host said... get out and cited a stupid rule in their TOS... now, I'll be the first to admit that my own TOS limits my customers to a certain extent, however, even my sites that consume 1GB plus (actual used space) I have never had a need to kick off a client... because I don't outrageusouly oversell my servers.


Quality over Quantity... and Buyer Beware.
