but we are hoping not just hosts look at this.

A lot of potential UK customers don't want the hassle of $ prices, they want to know exactly how much in £ is coming out of their bank account.

One of the main reason UK hosts use $ is because they have to because most US providers like paypal, dotster and others don't have the flexibility to allow multi-currency billing and the current choice of UK companies being able to provide the same services at the same cost means we don't have an alternative

I guess it is just hard for me to put in UK currency. I have to go from Can dollars to US dollars to UK dollars. Also I don't have the little UK pound sign thing

"Anyone paying $1 per Gb or less, I would ask yourself how good the quality of the bandwidth is"

That is a bad statement, I would certainly never pay $1 per GByte for even the best network, and as a result i do not and neither do any of our customers.

Some of the best networks only charge £0.50 per GByte and less. The key is to not be tricked by expensive hosts claiming their networks are better than the cheaper ones. Some cheap host are indeed bad, but many are the very best in the UK.

And many claim to use some providers as their primary, when in fact they're using a much cheaper one for all but routes from inside said "primary" providers network. Can easily be checked by doing traceroutes from multiple locations Always pays to check.
