I'm just trying to gauge interest here. I am debating whether or not to get into hosting SMP servers. I know what I can build and what they can handle. However, I do not know if my fellow crafters would pay. This poll is just there to gauge whether or not it would be worth it for me to do. Also, If this does come to fruition, The prices will probably change slightly but not much, And there will be payment groups for cheaper rates(3 months of diamond for $75 etc.).
Feedback/tips are highly appreciated.

EDIT: If you don't agree with these prices or you think they are too expensive. Please post and let me know what an "acceptable price" would be.
EDIT2:The server would be yours to control in its entirety(SSH, FTP, Remote desktop if you want it). You can use any mods you want. I will be completely hands free from the server.(I may add some server management options, but It'll prob be a little extra.) I was planning on using a specialized linux distro to handle the VPS's (Virtual Private Servers). The amount of ram indicates the dedicated amount to your "server", not the total ram of the box.
@ kerbe Very True. The server would be yours to control in its entirety(SSH, FTP, Remote desktop if you want it). I was planning on using a specialized linux distro to handle the VPS's (Virtual Private Servers). The amount of ram indicates the dedicated amount to your "server", not the total ram of the box.
What would be the CPU speed/how many cores, what is I/O speed, how much bandwidth, and what is the connection speed? Diamond plan for $30/mo. is very cheap, you couldn't keep that price without having very low specs aside from RAM.

@ kerbe they will be VPS's so an upgrade in RAM would be very easy to do on the fly.
@dewaffler That is not set in stone atm, however. I believe it will be a 6-core AMD running at about ~3.0 ghz. The bandwidth is another issue I am trying to deal with atm. Any suggestions/tips on that would be highly appreciated.
Also, about the prices, These will prob change. I'm thinking essentially moving the 512 down to about $8 and putting in a 3 gig at $25 and moving the 4 gig up to $35.
