I'm a bit disappointed by the amount of new business my revamped site has generated. I have had a few inquiries, but have yet to have anyone take advantage of my web hosting special. In this respect, I am offering my 'NOMAD' package for $4.99 (CAN) (pre-paid for 12 months) with 5Gb Transfer and 250Mb of storage. I offer the industry standard CPanel access with Fantastico, My SQL, Email and ftp acounts, etc... Is this price of this package too high? Should I consider lowering it? If so, any suggestions as to how much I should shoot for. Thanks in advance.

You're pricing seems fine to me. It's better than I'm able to offer at the moment. I have the same problem too. I think it can be really hard sometimes to compete with the big hosting companies since they can offer so much more space and bandwidth even though we both know that most sites won't ever come even close to needing it.

They can do more overselling than we can. I think it might help to promote your hosting based on the support you can offer since that's one place we smaller hosts can compete with the big guys and very well too.

By the way your site looks good. It's a little slow too load so I'd recommend using text instead of some of the images that are just showing text. It'll also help with search engines too.

I am going to PM your hosting link to a guy over at another forum who was looking for a CA host so don't think anything funny is going on if he mentions another forum.

Thanks for the feedback. I took a long time trying to figure out the best pricing scheme for my hosting packages. I have even considered dropping the price of my 'on sale' item, but I haven't been up too long thus far.
