[Big Changes] Bandwidth Increase! - Page 10

**Skipdawg** · May 29th, 2006, 12:36 AM

Maybe Surpass is playing catchup? I bet announcing the changes got them allot of new customers and present clients upgrading their package information.

Who knows what Surpass may do now with June right around the corner.

Something to remember is that with the bandwidth and space increases, the oc plan are not actually losing anything... You're still getting what you paid for... There are now just other plans with more stuff available.

If I wanted to change from my OC5 plan to the Power plan would I fill out an upgrade form or a downgrade form? Hmmmm......

Even worse, the hosting company I was with before Surpass upgraded their hosting plans, but only or new customers. So loyal customers (like I wasn't) were getting less than new customers, for the same money....

If you're paying more, I'd assume upgrade. Otherwise downgrade.

Plus, you can always run your reseller as hosting only low resource intensive sites, and pack tons of them into your plans without causing server problems.

Well David, as you know when you're on shared/reseller plan you're access to resources is limited to things beyond your control.... all that needs to happen is for one other reseller / shared user on that server to get his site hacked, some perl spammer script installed, and whamo, all your client sites are down.

So, if you can afford it, dedicated is better... You're not one of 20-25 users sharing the resources.

But, if someone on your dedicated gets hacked, the same thing can happen.

Um, yeah. But if you're one guy with 100 clients on a dedi, that's a small chance. If you're one of 20 guys on a reseller server, with a total of 1000 sites....
