What does a web host pay for one Mb of space?
Hello,
What will it cost the "average" web space service to store
one Mb of data per year? I ask this because over a period
of time I want to store at least a couple of Gigs of (legal,
non pornographic) data on the machine of a web host. When I have this information it is easier to negotiate.
Thanks,
Conny

Thanks, great answer. If you could give me an idea as regards what it would cost me to get my own dedicated access, I will increase the points to 65 (sorry don't have any more) and give you an "A".

I can only say, it depends... You need several things and the costs vary widely depending on geography, local competition, and the like. You get you own dedicated service from the same place you might get dial-up service. UUNET, MCI, NETCOM, and most local/regional ISPs can provide you with a quote. Usually it will be a "turnkey" connection. By that, you will get an ethernet port on a router that is connected to the internet and a block of IP addresses. Most will provide you with news feeds, DNS services, mail routing, and all the other little things that go with service. If you or someone on your staff knows the hardware and software you can save some money by buying your own hardware for your end of the connection but be sure to determine if it's compatible with the ISP you choose before buying hardware.
From surveys I've seen, prices (per month) range from about $350 for a 56K DDS to about $2500 for a T1 (1.54Mb/s). Be sure you do a load analysis of your usage before choosing a level of service. It costs you $$$ out of your pocket if you make a mistake either way, too much or too little bandwidth.
