The other problem was that people did not read what I wrote. Just as I said before, Those are the companies I "know of". See some people might of read it as "Rackspace and WMSpecialities are the only non-overselling hosts of the world", but that was not what was written. Also in my other post, I said there was nothing wrong with overselling. I have nothing over The Planet and they have made overselling work for them. Heck, the whole industry is doing well and they have happy customers, most of them. Although the idea of "really" getting 2000GB/month has no value and it is pretty much the same amount of bandwidth rackspace is offering. I was trying to make a point that Rackspace is not beyond reality. It is like the Planet's Platium service added onto a server they sell with 2,000GB of bandwidth. It is pretty much the same server. The only difference is marketing and overselling is just a marketing scheme.
Also I think another problem was that most hosts on this forum sell their hosting. So when I posted this, they did not read it fully, thought that I was trying to cut them short by selling something that most hosts do not have and then they attacked me for really no reason. I was trying to add to the conversation, not sell anything. A forum is meant for discussion, so I thought I keep the discussion going. Again, I am not undermining anyone, just adding that today some hosts are overselling, some hosts are selling what the customer gets, but it comes down to that the hosting industry is a Monopolistic Competition market and that everyone gets the same bandwidth and pretty close to the same prices. So the 150GB from Rackspace is no different from The Planet’s 2000GB. Before I worked at WebMedia Specialties, I got scammed(overselling), by a company. I did not know it though. When my boss told me we were selling 10GB of data transfer a month for $40/month, I looked a him a little awkwardly. My first impression was this company "sucks". It took me a little while to understand and my boss gave me a better explanation, than I am giving now. I would like to iterate this again, I am not trying to say that overselling is BAD and all the hosts that do it are bad. Please understand, I was just trying to make a point that I see in the industry today, call it a well educated opinion if you will.
