can anyone match $70~$80 for 2TB transfer

[mkc]

I'm looking here:
http://www.www-hosting.net/dedicated/

I like the price but not the yearly contract. $70~$80 for the 2TB transfer is what I need. Going to be doing shoutcast. Even if I go with www-hosting, I'll be setting up more servers in the future, so anyone with good prices on bandwidth will be added to my list. I'll prepay up to 3 months if rates are good.

Should be able to support 50 128kb streams coming out of each box. Can be he or cogent, as long as each server can serve at 6.5Mbps when I need them to.

I'm basically interested in hearing any plans that can give me about $0.40/gb and can scale as I grow. Since its shoutcast and I dont have constant listenered, I believe I should only utilize about 75% of the bandwidth, but I need a host who isn't going to get upset at high transfer stuff.

If you're planning on having the server for that year, you might try them and let us know how that goes because I haven't seen any other provider offer something like that. Our provider offers a generous 1TB with servers for $10-20/m over what you're looking at, but over that is still $.50/GB so you're asking for something below cost. That price is really cheap for what they offer. They're basically overselling those servers probably at least 2-3x hoping they won't get a lot of high transfer servers.

Just a word of advice here, but it would be a mistake to pay for a year in advance for a dedicated server.

Anyone offering deep discounts for yearly payments immediately trip my "uh oh" meter into the red zone.

$70-80 for 2TB? My "uh oh" metter just pegged out, that's overselling to the extreme with a capital X.

The absolute cheapest bandwidth on the face of the earth is reputed to be the $30 per mbit you can get from Cogent. A mbit PEGGED OUT for a month will do about 320 gigs, so to make 2TB that's 6-7mbits pegged out. At $30 per month that's $180-$210 cost for the bandwidth and they're selling it for $70-80?

Unless they're paying $5-$6 per mbit they're overselling hardcore. Be afraid, be very afraid, and I wouldn't pay for the year or sign a contract for any reason on this.
