Dedicated Server typo

Post by BnD|Sleeper »

I am beginning to consider a Dedicated server and that quad-core Value option looks real nice. Anyways, on the bottom of the page, it says $99 per extra Gigabyte (GB) and I think that is a huge typo. If that's not a typo, no one in their right mind would rent a dedicated server because most places are ~$0.10 (10 CENTS) per GB so maybe that's supposed to be $0.99/GB.

That is indeed a typo and thank you for pointing it out. I will have that corrected to read TB.

This hadn't come up yet because nobody had gone over the allotted bandwidth. We don't really expect that to ever happen, either :).

In all honesty, if no one has gone over the bandwidth limit and if they probably won't, WHY would you want you rate it as a Terabyte and not per gigabyte because people will see the larger number and not be as comfortable as they would with a smaller cost/size. I think cost/GB is smarter too because seriously, if they go over, they won't go over by 1TB! They will go over by a matter of GB...

If this is supposed to be a ploy to entice people to buy because it seems cheap, I think it will do the opposite; people will see the higher number and logic would and will dictate, the user will think it's a high price to pay :-).

We could put it as a cost per GB or a cost per TB. It doesn't matter to us and this is a very minor thing that as I said will likely never actually come up, so we just put the simpler and shorter of the two.
if they go over, they won't go over by 1TB!
There's a good chance that if someone goes over he will go over by quite a bit. I say that because the only people going over the standard amount would probably be running high-volume web/file servers.

Since the billing would be fractional, it doesn't matter which way it is put, in terms of the final cost.

It isn't, no. It's just small print at the bottom that I wouldn't expect anyone to pay much attention to, nor should they.
