Some facts to consider
  • Tons of space and bandwidth

It's amazing how some hosting companies have started to offer webspace in upwards of 5GBs and bandwidth in upwards of 50GBs for under $7! Most people easily get lured into such promotions without knowing that 1) they will most certainly never use that much space and bandwidth, 2) the hosting company will go bankrupt and will have to close down if even 30% of their customers start using their full alloted space and/or bandwidth.
Seems unbelievable, ain't it? This tactic is called overselling and there are lots of articles all over the web about it, we especially like WHreviews.com article.

  • Catch the culprits

It's funny how some web hosting companies get around with overselling even when they have a loudspeaker on their website saying, "Hey! I oversell, wanna buy?". No, we are not kidding. Almost every other web host has started reselling nowadays. If you wanna catch the culprits red-handed, check their resellers page. We bet you'll find similar space/bandwidth as their shared hosting packages, the one that a end-user buys, for a price atleast 3 times high! Why the difference? Well, resellers sell that space/bandwidth to multiple users (again, an end-user like you) which results in an almost complete utilization of the alloted space/bandwidth. We hope the point is clear to you by now.

  • What is wrong with over-selling?

Using available bandwidth/space to the full is not at all wrong but the problem lies in today's ever growing usage of blogs/forums. Statistics show that more than 90% of web users install some kind of blog/forum software on their website. These blogs/forums on a personal website don't take that much of space but their scripts/database calls do put some good load on the server processors. Consider this situation, a web host's server has 80GB disk space and 500GB bandwidth. If the company doesn't oversell they can create 16 accounts of 5GB each. Suppose they do and they create 150 accounts. Sadly, they can easily get by doing that because most customers will not use more than 500MB of their allocated space (to give you an idea, a busy personal website with forum takes about 30MB-50MB, same goes for a blog). Now consider the load on the server CPUs when 100 users simultaneously start using their forums/blogs. The outcome: every website on the server gets sluggish, at worst, visitors get a time out error.

  • The Hostachio difference

First off, let us make one thing clear, we DO NOT oversell. We use a low margin - more customers business model. We do not offer impractical packages i.e. space in tens of GBs, or bandwidth in hundreds of GBs. You might have noticed our thoughtful basic plan offering 50MB space and 1GB monthly bandwidth for a mere 20 bucks/year. This plan is especially designed for students and net-starters who constitute a major chunk of our customers. Give us a try and you won't be disappointed.

Alright, now you can make an educated decision. Feel free to explore the web for better plans. We hope you will decide to choose us.
