I wish to sell windows RDP or Windows Vps

Hi,

As you all know Support is matter a lot. no matter if the price is high or low, after users purchased, they only seek for support and the one who provides excellent support will retain his customers and customers will refer others. Since you are entering in to the Global market you have to provide 24/7 support in order to retain your customers, else customer will keep moving from one to another.

In terms of price, Since you are new service provider try to offer discount for your new customers (customers look for this) also provide options for Quarterly, Half-yearly, Annual with best discount price and try to grab your customer and provide excellent support to retain them and get referrals from them. (since most of the customer will prefer monthly basis however few customers who wants to avail your service may also look for the Quarterly or Half-yearly and very rare Annually )

Do not offer anything Free unless you are getting that product/service for free. Since free service is not utilized properly or maximum by most of us.

Pricing you need to work it out rather than asking others, since others may want lesser price and that should not lead to zero profit or business loss.

You have a lot of competitor so check their pricing and then work out a best price, where you should also gain small or good profit and at the same time customers are happy for what they are paying. (win-win method)

The above told words are try to grow your business and set an example to others.

That was bingo on calculation front I would definitely provide you next month as mentioned in the first thread

As a RDP provider you have to offer private trackers like utorrent.
User will download & upload stuff...even if they upload 40 files of 1 GB..it will coast 40 GB bandwidth and torrent will coast quite more as they have to keep their ratio up.

As i mentioned Am not worried about the bandwidth because i can upgrade my bandwidth any time and about the quality that would be my preference for any given time would avoid overselling it hampers quality also the name

Yes we are matured enough,And also our company is legally registered,

TO notify we are in hosting market for quite some time with our different products Just new to offshore so this would help us what exactly user/customer wants

Reason I said to get on unlimited Bandwidth so that you don't have to spend extra $$ on bandwidth from your pocket or profit...If they have any cheap unlimited bandwidth plan..Go for it.
If you ask me..As a user..I download around 60 Gb files(sometimes 250 GB+) from torrent & upload ratio is 1:5 and on some 2-3.
Speed will be good..so more likely people will download & upload more..Anyways, you don't have to worry abt it now...Make a start first and then you can calculate how much BT user are consuming daily..if require, change your plan in Next Month.
Hard disk play a imp role...Make sure you have 4 disk with Raid 10 (this will cut 50% storage ).

[augustusrome]

In terms of Hard disk better to go for SAS than SCSI.

If users know that they are using SAS drive they know what kind of performance it gives and with best processor, users will be more happy with the service.

Always prefer Unmetered bandwidth, because customer point of view Unmetered BW is always preferred choice than Metered. (when i took my internet connection with unlimited bandwidth from our ISP that month i downloaded 110GB in 2MBps (i had a partition of 150GB free and after that month i had 40GB free), So like me initial time there will be more download and upload so customers use more bandwidth)

Best config + best ppeed + best customer support + best price = Customer SATisfaction and more customers

In my Experience

You should not worry about profit (Not loss but margin selling till u make rep)

Dont Keep more than 15 users a server or 5-6 users per disk a lot of people here Think only CPU and RAM Matters but DISK I/O is as important as CPU or RAM

Support even if its slow only 1 admin people care abt the server if they are goood they wont mind upto 24 hrs for ticket resolution

Yes we are on the same track now Quality -> Less Support Issue -> Rep->Word of mouth-> More Clients all hosting provide should believe in this

15 K SAS drive might be quicker but not safe & it's coast way more.
Just for the sequential read and write, the RAID is better though..
Raid 0( 4 drives) will be best for I/O performance but has zero tolerance.If Disk fails..you loose all the data.
Raid 10 will be best choice & affordable.

Please note : Raid 10 will cut your disc space into half amount ..so if you have 1 TB disk space..you will get 500 GB for Use.

[zyb3r]

what's the location of DC you bought?

if you can sell Win VPS that is cheaper than the usual offers here, ill buy one.

[EnCiPh3r]

15k SCSI drives will cost u a fortune people care abt price so dont buy it unless u are providing to some very hogh end clients which is rare,

As they have their own dedi

15 K SAS drive might be quicker but not safe & it's coast way more.

Why would SAS 15k RPM drives be not safe?

We operate 12x300GB SAS 15k RPM w/ a RAID10 (hardware controller) and the Read/Write are fast (small 50MB to big 4GB files). Let me tell you is as safe as it can get. We haven't had one downtime the whole year due to drives.

It is expensive. Very to say the least but is very fast (no more why is unrar/rar'n slow) one prime example most RDP users get here and is more reliable than SATA which not all the time are meant for 24.7 usage. Especially if they are Desktop drives and not RE4 or Const drives.

From experience I can confirm this. Take it from someone who knows.
