I may be missing something, or particularly dense today. But I'm confused about what you are offering.
You are not hosting SL ... but you are providing hosting services, like for a website, etc ... but paid for with Lindens instead of USD. Is that it? Thanks, |

Plan 3 Space:250MB Transfer:25,000 DirectAdmin Panel System. demo_user/demo PHP Access CGI Access SpamAssassin Cron Jobs 10 FTP 10 MySql Database 50 Email Accounts 50 Email Forwarders 50 Mailing Lists 50 AutoResponders 10 Domains 10 Domain Pointers 10 Sub-Domains Cost: 2,000 L Per Month. (Best offer for the buck) Well, doing a direct cost/feature comparison, the company that hosts the Messenger's website gives us the following features: Space: 500 MB Transfer: 75 GB PHP Access CGI-BIN SpamAssassin Cron Jobs FrontPage Extensions FTP Access MySql 100 Email Accounts Unlimited Email Forwarders Unlimited Mailing Lists Unlimited AutoResponders 1 Sub-Domain For this, we pay just $4.95 a month or $12.95 a quarter. At L$2,000 a month, your service is about $7.50-$8.00 a month, depending on exchange rates. P2 _____________________

What I would expect from a hosting company is responsibility and reliability. I wouldn't entrust a single HTML file to a company whose ad has far too many spelling/punctuation mistakes.
I don't think it's very likely people who learned English as their first language would take your ad more seriously than I did. ...Wow, I sound really mean and nitpicking but hey, you said any "advise" is welcome.  |

The prices are not completely insane, but it probably is not the cheapest deal out there. You might want to strive to offer SL centric services to warrent the price. Incidently, my two current hosts cost:
@$5/month - 850MB storage, 20 GB transfer, unlimited email/ftp/db @$10/month - 6260 MB storage, 179 GB transfer, unlimited email/ftp/db |
