7% on hosting revenue sounds like a great accomplishment but what's relatively a good ratio to look at?

  So what is normal in the SaaS world? I am at 5% today, and I try but not focus on costs. Around 5% it seems hard to care TOO much...

    We're at ~10% and are just starting to care. We're looking at some infrastructure changes to bring us closer to 4%.

      Well it makes sense to care more as you grow for sure. Shaving 6% off a 10k a month company is $600 which is nice but not a game changer. Shaving 6% off a $1 mil a month company is $60k a month, which is a nice bonus for someone...

    We're just over 2%, all in AWS costs.

      What revenue range (5 fig, 6 fig?)
  • bkanber 9y ago
    Adding a data point: we're at 1.5% for 6 figure monthly revenue.

      That seems very good. Are you on a popular cloud (AWS/GCE/Azure), colocated, or running your own servers?
