Just to prove how cheap bandwidth (and even Storage space) really is I went on a hunt for a well known hosting company, this company does not specialize in hosting but a different form of internet business. They can give you the following deal:

This for only $14.99 Month to month or $11.99/Mo if you stick with them for 24 Months.

The cheapest plan they have is this:

Basically bandwidth is cheap and so is storage space.

I won't reveal who this is (they are extremely well known anyway!), I just thought I would post these plans of theirs to show everyone how cheap bandwidth really is.

With how cheap these plans are you could easily have your visitors pay for your hosting bill by having Google AdSense setup.

Heck, if you need help paying the hosting bills too badly you could do what I have seen most Bittorrent trackers do and have a donation button.
Then you simply state (or you can code a chart that autoupdates when you get donations) so far this month we recieved $xxx.x dollars so far in donations, we need $xxx.xx to pay our bandwidth bills!

Here is an example from one of the sites I visit on a weekly basis:


Over $100 from Google Ads in a month, you can EASILY get the money you need to cover your hosting bills and earn a small amount on top of that.

See? If you really need to have more then the 3GB offered here at Trap17 then simply setup Google Ads and you will have you bills paid for you (Pretty much).

I bet, use that much by providing mass downloads, and you will find your account suspended for spamming. Happens everywhere... nothing new. Also, BW price depends on Quality, network used etx.

For 199 USD, We can provide servers with unlimited BW that too at 10 mbps dedicated pipeline (unlike others who provide just 1 or 2 mbps).

The argument has no ending if you research the web.... :-)

hm I never thaught it this way about the bandwith unlimited, but it makes sense and your right. But some hosts offer 300 gig a bandwith a month thats cinda unlimited for me. Hi bandwith sites i always host on my own pc.. due to no 1 will host them for me

Thanxs for the free service and for this new info I dident knew

this post was along time ago....but is there a way to ge tthat bandwidth back? like delete the transaction?

No.
It would be like trying to delete a phone call you have made.
You have used the lines to transmit data. The bandwidth is measured as it leaves the server and counts against your limits the instant it is delivered to the 'net.

You know what i thin kis really funny? when some one goes to this post and asks if you will give them more badnwidth, wasent the purpose of this post to let users no that no one gets more bandwidth? lol

i just wonder because like is thee BW and space for 1 day or lifetime? also im wondering is there a way to make 2 hosting account just a question because me and my friend wena do this together so it wont be hard on us. because im planning to use this for a huge thing maybe 50000 clicks and 800000 views in 4 days.
