how many ppl selling hosting at here ? why every are sell so cheap ? and why don't want earn much money?

[ardiles]

too expensive = no customer

too cheap = chances to lose your money

Articulate-X... which currency do you use, RM or Dollar?
Kind of confused... home page use RM, Order page use Dollar.

jikey, set the right pricing is a challenge too.
Do you know how much is a dedicated server cost and how many account can be sell from one dedicated server?
They will profit, dun worry.

I bought domain name from Articulate-X recently, they use RM (tho the order page is $)

RM

dunno how to modify modernbill scripts tu use "RM"

its hard to figure out how many people can reside in 1 server, it depends on server load acctually.. maybe 100 or 200 maybe less.. maybe more

ppl got lousy server, lousy bandwidth, no 24/7 support(at least need to monitor the server 24/7 if no support rep) and over load the server can earn money by providing cheap packages.

but if you selling cheap and using moderate setups, you will be loosing or not making enough money in long run

ppl selling in higher price will get less customers, but big customer and less headache, coz they are the one know how is the business like, not kids that want a RM3 dollars hosting with 500MB space and 50GB bandwidth and still dont know what site to develop.

yeah I totally agree with Fred. Customers from established organization is much better, though the number of customers will definitely less than cheap hosting.

Some newbies, think that their RM1 is equivalent to USD$1. Want to pay less, but opt for advanced features

[jikey]

true true ... Customers from established organization is much much better...

newbies suppose to get some free hosting that's more than enough .. man

So long never post here and almost forgot about this place.

Most of the hosts that sells cheap usually won't last long in the market.

Not really. You have to know where to get good deals, and when to get them. Expanding too fast will make things too expensive if you don't have a steady stream of customers, while not expanding at all or too slow will overload your servers.

Also, getting the cheapest dedicated servers or going with the cheapest data centers to colocate in isn't always the best. As they say, "you get what you pay for."
