I'm speaking as a budding competitor, so keep that in mind. :-)
According to their web page, below10host.com gives you 6GB per month
for $9.95. By way of comparison, webservpro charges $49.95 per month
for the same 6GB.
My analysis of costs tells me that at $49.95 for 6GB, webservpro does
not have a large margin of profit in their price. How can any hosting
company sell the same 6GB per month for $9.95 and make enough profit
to stay in business?
At such a low price, I don't know how it's possible, unless a large
majority of their customers consume so little of their quota so as to
offset the loss incurred from customers who consume it all.
6GB per month is a fairly active site. If you really have that much
traffic, to me at least, $49.95 would seem affordable. OTOH, if you
have much less traffic, you could choose a lower priced plan.
I believe in the adage of getting what you pay for. Value is a
balance between low price on the one hand, vs. high quality on the
other. The lowest price is not necessarily the best value.
