Some Frequently Asked Questions:

Q1. Why is the disc space and bandwidth so low on this package compared to other packages?
Ans. FFMPEG being so resource intensive, that it would not be practically feasible to support the overselling limits that are present in other packages.

Q2. Why is the price relatively higher than some of the competitors?
Ans. I would answer it by saying, please ask the competitors why is their price so low. e.g. Some of them are selling ffmpeg enabled packages at $7/month or even lower!

Each of the servers cost around $800-$1700/month depending upon on the infrastructure. Lets say the monthly server cost is $1200/month. + $400 for people costs = $1600/month

So to break-even the host will require to sell at least 225 such packages on the same server just to prevent losses!

+ Do not forget that the webhosts do payout upto 75% of the signup revenues for each affiliate referral. Suppose even 30% of the above customers came through affiliate referrals, then you do the math!......

Does it make any business sense to host your websites on a server with 300-500 accounts many of which may be using resource intensive FFMPEG!

So we decided, that we would rather focus on quality and reliability of service instead of cheap unprofitable pricing. And as a result you will also have that peace of mind that your website is being hosted with a reliable and honest host with a sound business model.
