If you don't want to do public pricing, then just don't post in this thread.

after spending most of today dealing with hosting providers (I decided on Phatservers) I suggest you do it the other way around.... create a thread asking people to post the deals they are getting with their various hosting providers.
I think alot of money is made in the hosting business because customers dont talk with each other about the pricing plan they are on. If you got a server in Jan 2007 and are still paying the same monthly price in Jan 2009 for the same specs then you are no longer getting the best deal.
this is sometimes referred to as being on "oldschool pricing". One discussion with your salesperson usually gets you a better deal.
For example, I noticed one of my providers who I was with for years was quietly dinging me overage charges for a few months without me realizing it -- once I noticed I was annoyed nobody contacted me to offer an upgrade - I spoke to the salesperson and I ended up with almost double my transfer amount for the same price.
Its one of those things you dont really think about until you start getting overage charges...
