why h-sphere has less bandwidth?

| comparing to other suppliers, I noticed all H-Sphere based reseller plans has very little bandwidth. say, 50G vs 100G on same system resources allocation, any one knows how come? thanks.

| Maybe because hsphere is less popular to the kiddie hosts that oversell.

| Agreed, plus you have the fact that H-Sphere is probably a little more expensive than its competitors, but definately worth it IMO. You have to subsidise prices somewhere ...

| It's not really as easy as saying H-Sphere has less bandwidth. There are H-Sphere providers that offer high(er) bandwidth assignments just as there are providers outside the H-Sphere market that offer low(er) assignments.
You can't judge a reseller plan solely on disk space and bandwidth. In fact those are two options that would be way down on the checklist of many a prospective reseller. If you find a provider that offer what you would deem a low transfer traffic assignment, take a look at the rest of the features and you'll likely have the reason right in front of your eyes.

| Well said!!
Unfortunately, IMO, disk space and bandwidth are the first filter, in the sales process, of most folks out there these days. Some look beyond that, to see if there's substance beneath the offer, but so many folks can't get past the huge resource allocations promised to them, for peanuts, and hence that's the cause for most problems we see surfacing on WHT.

| Greetings:
H-Sphere has a high ROI compared to the investment.
So it is not due to the investment in H-Sphere, but as stated, H-Sphere providers tend to be more mature, oversell less, et al.
Thank you.

| Also remember that almost every dedicated server supplier out there bundles cpanel, so those "kiddy" hosts who are renting their own server/s, will use cpanel. They're most probably less likely to setup a h-sphere cluster.
But I'm not aware of a correlation between h-sphere hosts and the resource usage allocations promised, if they're generally less or more, to whatever industry average there is, if there is such a beast.
You could probably say that the average age and experience of a h-sphere host, is older and more experienced than a cpanel host. That could be correct.

| I don't agree there, to be honest.
Of all the pre-sales emails I have seen the most seldom discussed options are disk space and bandwidth. In our post-signup survey the disk space and bandwidth features have the least interest when resellers are asked about the number one thing they looked for in a provider.
It's all about horses for courses. In my opinion, if a user is looking for wholesale hosting they'll look for larger disk/transfer assignments. If a user is looking for reseller hosting, they'll look for reseller features.

| Probably because that's already been filtered out, before they contact you. The sales process, from a client's perspective, is like an upside down pyramid, with the big issues at the top, and as they get down the levels, they get into the nitty gritty of your service and what it can do for them. This could be where most folks contact sales, for specific answers etc. That filtering also depends on how much info is on your site, and how much they have read.

| Agreed!
Now if you could put to good use the most common questions you'll know what exact information needs to be displayed better on your site.
