Hey,

what do you and do you think people would think of PayPer MB hosting.

so like a users only pays for how ever many MB of bandwidth they user a month?

just wondering what your thoughts could be and what would be a fair price to charge per MB of bandwidth

Thanks guys!

It can be good, but also bad. Of all the Per MB hosting I've seen it usually costs more. Plus a problem for the web host is, a website may use a low amount of MB, low bandwidth, but high CPU.

There are lots of resources involved with Web hosting other than just the MB space usage. So make sure you have contingencies and protect yourself should a client overuse some of those other usages.

People don't realise that even the number of domain names is a resource that can affect server performance should there be too many.

I believe that Pay per MB hosting is a very convenient thing for those who don't know how to estimate their traffic yet, they may be changing their web site or something, and especially if the amount of traffic is significant.

i was thinking it could of thebe a good idea for the kind of people who dont have much to spend, so they could pay a basic kinda of about like for a small account say they pay £1 and then X for every mb of space and stuff.

Never seen anything like that, though try to google, what I know of is that on such plans there a set minimum amount of traffic you should pay for, even if you don't use it.

I did a google search for feedback on them, and the reviews seem to be pretty mixed.

could but something else to sell i supose

Im looking into getting VPS, i got my current host to give me a demo and im like wow yay i love settings hehe

i think i need to get a few more customers to be able to justify the upgrade tho
