A few ways to show how Hostmonster $6.95/month costs justifies itself. In this document we attempt to breakdown the costs on a annual basis with each individual feature service. Remember that all this is only for each individual feature of your Hostmonster account and does not take into account all of the features at once.

$6.95 per month = $83.40 a year

1,500 Gigs of Space
That's 6 cents per Gig of space for an entire year

15,000 Gigs of Space
That's .6 cents per Gig of transfer for an entire year

2,500 Email Accounts
That's 3 cents per Email Account for an entire year

50 MySQL Databases
That's $1.67 per MySQL database for an entire year

1,000 Additional FTP Accounts
That's 8 cents per FTP account for an entire year

These numbers are alarming and truly show how inexpensive and effective it is to have a Hostmonster profesisonal webhosting account. These numbers do not include the fact that you are also getting the following:

• Free domain
• unlimited addon domains
• unlimited subdomains
• host unlimited domains
• unlimited email forwards

And many many more. When you look at the numbers and benefits in this manner, it makes it difficult to comprehend why you would not get a Hostmonster account. The Hostmonster Competitive Analysis page will show you how these numbers compare to some of the other major web hosting companies in the market.

A More Realistic Example

Let's give a more realistic example on how this might apply to you. Chances are you will not be using all of the space or allotments for each one of these features, and that you will only be using a portion of each. The following numbers attempt to show you a more realistic example of a Hostmonster cost justification.

1,500 Gigs of Space
Let's say you host multiple websites, in this case 20 websites. Let's also assume that each website is taking an average of 1 GB of total space. That's a total of 20 Gigs used which is a little over 1% of the total capacity. 20 gigs used is $4.17 per gig for the entire year.

15,000 Gigs of Transfer
Let's say these same 20 websites of yours receive some pretty decent traffic and you are using 30% of your total bandwidth. That turns out to be 4,500 Gigs of transfer that you are using. That's only 2 cents per Gig of transfer for the entire year.

2,500 Email Accounts
Let's say here that you use up 100 email accounts. Which is a ton by the way! That turns out to be 8 cents per email account for the entire year! This is one of the most impressive of all the numbers.

50 MySQL Databases
Now this is a feature that most users tend to use a higher percentage of. So let's say you use 60% of all your databases which would be 30 databases. That's only $2.78 per database for the entire year.

1,000 Additional FTP Accounts
This is typically a feature that will almost never get used up. So let's say that you use up 10% of your capacity for FTP accounts. That's a total of 100 ftp accounts which equals out to be about 83 cents per account for the entire year of service.

There are many other features and benefits that are also needed to take into account when doing a cost justification for your Hostmonster account. Things like customer service, uptime statistics to name just a couple. The overall conclusion here is that Hostmonster professional web hosting is extremely cheap for the amount of benefits it's service provides.
