Re: Best Hosting Service --- How did we miss!!!
That hosting service may be "best" for some people, but not for everyone - depending on the user's needs. Think a bit before you take the plunge. For illustrative calculations, let's take $1 as Rs.50.
Their charge for data transfer starts at a minimum of $1 per month. That's Rs.600 a year even if your bandwidth usage is very light or even zero. There are many paid hosting services cheaper than that.
Sure, the rate per GB goes down with higher usage, but it will never be less than Rs.600 a year. If you use 2GB in a month, the rate drops to $0.77 per GB per month; but the actual charge is $0.77*2 = $1.54 = Rs.77/month = Rs.924/year. At 5GB/month, it goes up to Rs.1770/year. And so on.......
The above calculations still do not include charges for space. At $0.01 per MB per month, that's a minimum of Rs.6 a year. So the absolute minimum even for, say, a 20 KB blog with minimal traffic is still Rs.606 a year. Compare this with some of the offers in this very forum, e.g., Rs.199/year for 250MB/2.5GB/month.
Another example: Say you put up a small website of 50 MB. That's Rs.300/year plus Rs.600 = Rs.900. For larger sites and heavier traffic, the fees go up and up.
