Per-Gigabyte
Pricing: For and Against
In
this case, a user can exploit as much bandwidth as required during the billing
period. Sometimes, providers offer packages of 100 Gb, 10 Tb, and many other
variations, while others sell bandwidth by gigabytes (for instance, $0,05 per
Gigabyte). This payment model is
convenient for online businesses that usually need some certain amount of
bandwidth, and face traffic spikes quite often. The model’s strong side is that
you pay only for resources that you really used, regardless of the time and
number of requests.
Reasons to Choose
Pipeline Pricing
This
model would be ideal for web-projects with great online presence. A provider
allows you providing some certain amount of bandwidth per second, and if the
limit is not exceeded, you will pay what is expected. It is also called 95/5
model, because a user is allowed to use more bandwidth in case of traffic
spikes only 5% of time. As a rule, it is one and a half day (hours of traffic
spike are summed), while the rest of the month bandwidth limit should not be
exceeded. Otherwise, you will have to pay more. Samples of bandwidth usage are
taken every five minutes. When counting the price of service, 5% of highest
traffic samples are ignored, and the rest 95% are analyzed. If they are within
limits, it is good for user. Thus, clients who manage their bandwidth would
definitely benefit from such payment system. If you don’t face traffic spikes
on a regular basis, this is the most sensible solution.
