Hosting

[JoshSmith]

Hey everyone, I was just wondering does it seem too cheap if someone (I) offered $0.5/GB MC Hosting (I wouldn't be overselling if you thought that), and if it would be a good idea.

Yes,
Good idea for people wanting something like a dev server

Thank you for your feedback, but do you have any other questions or concerns about if I offered that?

But it is unsustainable to run a business that eventually you will have to pay tax on with such low prices without over-allocating.

1) I wouldn't have to pay taxes for awhile
2) I haven't seen it over-allocating yet.

Ok, have you ever thought about license costs for certain software? Thought about transaction fees? Thought about panel? Thought about servers?

1) What licenses are you worried about as I am expected to do back-end and create a custom panel as we are at the moment using pterodactyl.
2) Transactions are held through Stripe and PayPal.
3) Yes, I have.
4) I have thought about servers indeed. I have a 25GBPS Business Network (Fiber Optic)

They have transaction fees. Licenses? You need many licenses for different things such as billing systems and some live chats. Developers and support members.

1) Why are you worried about my hosting company so much about me dropping pricing? I already paid for my licenses, and I own my hardware. I am a developer and have enough support members.[DOUBLEPOST=1517161157][/DOUBLEPOST]

.5 Per Gb is super cheap. You would make a lot

Thank you for your honest opinion about if I dropped prices to that.

Im making you aware of things you need to take into consideration. Go ahead but at the end of the day I dont want you to lose money.

It sounds almost too good to be true.
For a developer this would be a perfect test server.

Tho here is some tips:
1: Allow the client to choose other packages to increase the amount of ram.
2: Have the option to purchase multiple ip´s.
3: DDOS protection. This might be important to some. BUT this would be a feature that can cost.

At the end of the day be aware that unless you get a decent amount of clients the risk of loosing money is quite high.
Shoot me a DM if you need some other tips or feedback to your services as the experience is here.

Good luck.

I already have 1, I will think about number 2, and I already offer DDoS protection
