I have a dedicated server at [unnamed host] for $250 a month, and I get unlimited bandwidth. I don't have to worry about a slow server or anything because it's not a virtual server. Just because you offer unlimited bandwidth doesn't mean everyone is going to use it. Being a tech, I know there's more to it than that, but I would like to see at least a tiered monthly charge. I think you're limiting yourself to smaller companies (maybe you want to), But, what if one of your customers grows beyond your bandwidth allotment? Would you not like to keep them as a customer, or would you be OK with them moving on to another host when they get tired of paying the overage fees?
