I have been looking and have been dividing monthly cost by the transfer and that has been very helpful ratio.Oops, didn't read that right. I see where you got the calculation. That doesn't take into account all the other services included. For GossamerHost that includes:
* Upto 7 daily incremental backups that you can access and retrieve files.
* Fully monitored server, all services (Apache, MySQL, Qmail, etc) are also monitored and if anything does not respond, the service is restarted and a tech is notified.
* Manged software: everything on the server is managed, and all security patches are analyzed and applied (been holes in Apache, MySQL, OpenSSH, OpenSSL, PHP, Linux Kernel and more in the last six months).
* integrated mod_perl support (setup properly as a proxied server)
* Free server level virus scanning and spam parsing
and much much more. Just dividing the total hosting cost by bandwidth isn't really a good way to look at things at all.
You really need to look at it from an entire package perspective.
Cheers,
