I think you are going to need to give more information than that. What servers and where located, what uptime do you guarentee, what level of technical support etc.

Re: what is a fair prices for hosting punbb?

There are many hosting companies at $4.95 a month.

What can you offer?

a) We install the scripts for you on our approved list, a sort of human Fantastico - a CMS, Forum & Gallery of your choice - change your mind down the road, it's extra.
b) We can install skins, plugins, make mods - of course extra.
c) Will you have a support forum?

I think you need to seperate yourself from the crowd, like Thomas is doing.

Yes. Trying to compete with the big boys on price is a hiding to nothing particularly as there as some decent cheap hosts out there. You need to offer something special and then charge for it.

check out resellerzoom.com packages ... their lowest is $4.95 and I am satisfied. Once your forums grow you will probably have to upgrade
