How are hosting company rates created?

Question

Network administration

Good afternoon!
I am writing a diploma on the topic of organizing a remote hosting provider, I wanted to know how to describe the tariffs and their price? What indicators are hosting tariffs based on now?

Answer 1

Minimum - economically calculated based on costs.
Maximum - looks at competitors.
Also, the target group is taken into account (the most budgetary school hosting or something like "elite")
And on complex-composite tariffs, like in the clouds - in general expanse for marketers. type for you almost free, 1 kopeck for 1 gigabyte per hour.
I have an acquaintance - a smart person - filled them with several terabytes of information there. Filled for a very long time. The bill has arrived. Deleted it with a bang.

Answer 2

Just like everywhere else.
They count every single cost (DC, infrastructure, servers, personnel, taxes, advertising, interest on loans, etc), take from the ceiling what margin they want, divide and get an approximate price.
And then they look at the prices of competitors and either reduce their margins or costs.
