Concept
INTERDUBS sells via word of mouth and client satisfaction. Our pricing and terms reflect that. It is simple, fair and the same for everybody. We consider special discounts ultimately a waste of our and your valuable time.
Our terms are based on what it does cost to run the service in the best possible quality. We are aware that most of our clients make allot of money with INTERDUBS. That's great. We don't want to get a cut from the value they have created.
INTERDUBS pricing models
Monthly plan
Storage use is being evaluated automatically at the invoice date.
INTERDUBS automatically chooses the model that is cheapest based on the storage in use.
This is done at the last day of the month.
We like to encourage our clients to clean up with this method.

Storage size in terms of footage amount
INTERDUBS can deal with any bandwidth you choose for your encoding. In order to give you a better idea of how much material you can store for each pricing point here some examples.
1.8 Megabit / second
With a modern codec like h264 or similar 1.8 Megabit per second will create a clip of great quality that is free from visual or audible artifacts.
At 1.8 Mb/s you can store the following amounts of footage:
1GB 1 hour 15 minutes 3GB 3.3 hours 10GB 12.5 hours 50GB 63 hours
3 Megabit / second
It is common that people like to encode with maximum quality. We find that 3 Mb/s is not yielding a better result than 2.5Mb/s. But since over-rich encoding is common her the amount of footage for this super conservative / wasteful procedure:
At 3 Mb/s you can store the following amounts of footage:
1GB 45 minutes 3GB 2 hours 10GB 7.5 hours 50GB 38 hours
INTERDUBS itself has no issue with bandwidths much higher than this. See encoding for details.
Daily plan
The daily plan is best suited for companies that do not add material frequently to INTERDUBS.
Each day that material gets added to INTERDUBS will is $15.
Customization and setup is not included in this plan.
Usually the setup charge of $200 covers a customized design around the color theme and logo of your company.
There is a monthly minimum charge of one day, regardless if there have been uploads or not.
See Daily plan for details and examples.
Plain Vanilla FTP storage
Storage used in Plain Vanilla FTP accounts is being invoices also based on the amount used in the last day of the month. The cost is
1 US$ per GB
there is no minimum charge. The number of accounts does not matter. Usage of plain vanilla accounts is considered to be business to business.
You can not use INTERDUBS Plain Vanilla for public FTP file sharing. We consider use to be public when you do not know who uses your Plain Vanilla Account.

month by month
A service period in INTERDUBS for companies is usually a month. A client can decide at any time that they no longer need the services. No reasons needed. Although, should this case happen, we are very curious what we can learn from this.
billable end of the month
INTERDUBS sends out invoices in the end of the month of the services rendered in the past month.
100% uptime
INTERDUBS guarantees 100% uptime. Should INTERDUBS not be available to it's clients then they don't have to pay. No matter how short the outage might be.
100% happiness
If an INTERDUBS client should not be a 100% happy with the services of INTERDUBS then he does not have to pay. It would be nice to know what the problem was. But even that is optional. Did never happen yet.
