How much should I charge per GB with an E7?

[CodySir]

A friend and I are looking into possibly starting up a hosting company, not 100% sure yet. Anyways, want to know what you guys think we should charge per a GB. I've been told $2, $3 and etc. Just want to see what a lot of you guys think. Can't find a better spot to put this thread so I chose the Hosting Section.

Specs on Dedi:
E7-8890 v4
64 GB ( Right now, can easily change this as we can mess with the hardware in real life it's located in my friend's dad's datacenter that he owns. We just mostly want a rough estimate of how much we should charge per GB due to how good the CPU is )
1 TB of SSD ( Changeable as well )

Mexico Internet Exchange (It's not located in Mexico) Located in California.

so what if its located in mexico

 

[CodySir]

so what if its located in mexico

Then we'll sell hosting to the Mexico cartels.

The amount you charge per GB depends on your server cpu/specs. Honestly the CPU you have is worth $1k+ and I believe it can fit up to 512GB ram right?

Yeah.

 

[Andy Willis]

Yeah.

Then I guess the question is what prices can you sustain and make profit. Don't try and compete with everyone you need to do what's best for your company.

Yeah.

You own the hardware? Then up to you man. It's your stuff , you can choose what kind of profit you want to be making.

why an e7? E7-8890 v4 is like 7k for the processor ( release price ). That is way more expensive than making i7s ( better for MC ), and making more for the price. i7's could net 3~$ a gb if u have good staff, uptime, marketing, etc. Its better to make i7's than an e7.

Why are i7s better for MC? Don't you want a CPU with more cores?

Its how MC uses cores. having a shit ton of cores doesn't always mean its better for certain tasks.
