Are Cloud Hosting's Vague Costs and Wishy Washy Pricing Schemes a Tech Rip-off, a Web Scam Or None of the Above?...

Whenever someone asks “how much is this cloud hosting plan going to cost?” the answer is a pricing formula that translates into vague speculation. The billing plans offered by Cloud hosting companies are infinitely scalable and that’s the problem. Forecasting a Cloud hosting plan’s total cost can be a complex task and in this economy nobody can afford to get soaked.

When people shop for cars, they no longer care how much the car costs. What they want to know is, “what is the monthly payment going to be?” Have cloud hosting companies really figured out a satisfactory way to answer that question?

How much does Cloud hosting really cost? How much is a Pepsi? If the answer to “How much is a Pepsi?” was a formula based on how much is consumed and how quickly it’s consumed the automatic response from most people would be “I’ll have a Coke.” Until Cloud hosting can provide better answers the best managed businesses will continue to rely on Liquid Web Select and Dedicated Servers at 1&1 Internet.

One solution might be an introductory flat rate that could change into a scalable billing model after 6 months.

The client would be able to compare their flat rate to what the scalable rate would have come to month by month over a six month period. Clearly, if the scalable billing total is comparable to the flat rate (and obviously better) over a 6 month period then the Cloud hosting provider will retain the client and become more attractive to new ones.

Infinite scalability is an impressive advantage (and the only advantage) but hazy pricing plans are inhibiting the success of Cloud hosting. The vague pricing plans should be replaced. Although price is often a secondary consideration when businesses look for Web hosting services, they still need to mull over their balance sheet and justify their bottom line. That means they need to look at hard numbers, not flexible formulas. The current Cloud hosting business model may be too soft to generate the hard numbers that business professionals need to get on board.

Liquid Web Select can supply straight answers about prices and provide 100% up time. The forecast is sunny and clear for every business client of Liquid Web Select.

1&1 Internet’s Dedicated Servers provide around the clock hands on engineers for 24/7 confidence. Should it become necessary to manage scalability in response to a significant increase in traffic the professionals at 1&1 Internet are well equipped. Many of the Dedicated Server plans at 1&1 Internet also include significant no charge extras like an SSL certificate and some of the most highly regarded software around.
