My previous employer is charging $200 and you get a 450-MHZ Server w/32 MB RAM - 8 GB UDMA66 Disk Space - 50 kbps Data Transfer included (allows approx. 16 GB/month). To put this into perspective, my site is the 5th busiest on that particular server, and I'm pulling 550MB per month. If I got rid of my LRP site, I could shave that by 20%. As far as I know, he does not use a traffic shaper to limit the bandwidth, but he will upgrade you to the next plan, which is $450/month. This guy is competing with RackSpace, so the intro prices are lower. Might want to check with Mike (mike@flsuncoast.com) - maybe he colocates servers.
