$4 / GB? That's way too high. I'm thinking $1 a GB is reasonable but throw in a few 50% promotions here and there just so you can stay competitive.
@Brandon Really? $1/GB? Good luck making any profit off of that.
I think he was being sarcastic.
Why charge? Get paid to join and use our minecraft servers™
@NHRoel Why haven't minecraft providers thought of this? This is a great way to attract business!
Lack of innovation
Quoting from Futurama.
Lol @HalfEatenPie . I recon seeing that on reddit before though.
@NHRoel: haha, I watched it a while ago on this episode: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutopia_(Futurama)
A week, maybe two?
Minecrafted already does this, they give out free 256MB servers, only a $1 setup fee.
Do you know what ROI is?
ROI means return on investment.
Two week ROI? That is some high profit investment. Investment option available?Publicly trading?
The only thing I'll say, is that you're just throwing money away from current paying clients, as they'll want the new pricing.
Anyone ever heard of leased servers?
Not true, since the quality comes down with the price, as it should be.
So you are going to sell really shitty mc servers in hopes to make money? I wish you the best of luck

Thus, the questions regarding ROI, etc.
$4/GB. Assume 32GB for simplicity. 4x32 = 128. It's either heavily oversold, doesn't include wages, insurance and a pile of other costs that are the real expense of running a business. Not to mention profits = a need to pay tax.
Sigh. Doesn't understand. Leased or not.
Only the HDD ($7.6/GB) and SSD($10/GB) server plans run on company owned hardware. The Cheap Server Plans do not.
What if I told you this isn't the only product that I sell. You are also forgetting about add-ons, etc.
This is a completely ridiculous statement.
What else do you sell? Link?
Besides hdd( I assume you meant sata 3) and ssd , what your server runs on? Sas?
How so? The Cheap Server Plans are located in Canada, while the other plans are located in San Jose, California, USA.

I was referring to how you only pay for the hard drive costs and not the actual physical unit costs.
HDD plans run on dual RE4 hard drives (500-750GB) in RAID-1
SSD plans run on dual 256GB Samsung 830 SSDs in RAID-1
CS plans run on dual SSDs (pretty slow ones) in RAID-1
So all your server runs on either sata3 HDD or SSD. So you OWN EVERY SERVER YOU SELL SERVICE FROM.
The CS plans are leased. The servers for the HDD / SSD server plans are already paid for.
How did you get to that conclusion? Just because a server runs on an SSD or an HDD does not mean I own it. CS servers are leased from another company, SSD and HDD plan servers are owned by MHS.
You contradict your self on every 2nd statement. Unless you don't understand my broken English.
Where? Let me clarify it for you. I would not want you to have any confusion.
