GB=price+.50
so a 5GB plan would have 20GB of bandwidth and it will cost $5.50 Per month

and a 10 GB plan would have 40GB of bandwidth and cost 10.50 per month

are these ok prices ?
and i will have good support and the servers will not be over sold

Apparently, your site is down right now. Could you give us an update on your business?

Not always correct. Some Chinese products are cheaper than material price. Would you buy the products or think they are scam?

Same for hosting, some plans cost you $0.01 some cost you $20, they might be the same quality.

You may want to increase the bandwidth space.
Many customers are more concerned about traffic.
Do your home work first, then jump in.
Hope this helps.

Looks like it would work. There is only one way to find out. If it doesn't, change it. If it does you're good to go!

Ya as said by Namworld, the bandwidth should be 10 or 20 times that of space. So try reframing your formula. Bandwidth gets exceeded if they the get traffic spike.

Forget about BW limitation. It will scare potential customers. In case of shameless use you always can shape speed to fit to reasonable BW.
