Hi,

I've got a 2gig p4/80mb/512mb dedicated plesk server.

I am going to be offereing hosting but I'm not sure how much to charge. What do the rest of you guys charge? And what do you offer for it?

Any guidance is great. I don't want to over charge, but at the same time I don't want to charge to little!

Wouldn't this data have been part of your business plan research?

Well. I inherited a server, becuase I needed to somewhere to keep my own site as I was using 10gb of bandwidth a month which most places were asking ridicuoous amounts for. The server I inherited had quite a few customers on before so I charge them £60 for a years worth of hosting, with php, mysql, webstats e.t.c the works and I didn't really limit their bandwidth

So I got the new server, and I figure, 5gb pf bandwidth a month, 500mb space and all the works for £60 a year or £5.99 a month to encourage paying in advance..

But then my dad was saying that for the money I was offering too much and I should be charhing more, becuase for a similar pricing in sites such as www.123reg.co.uk you don't get any php or anything advanced like that.

And it's just put me into a state of confusion! I'm quite happy to stick to my original price plan. Unless I'm being completely ludicrus.

I also forgot to think about set up charges and other such things. :S

I'm too used to doing people favours I think!
