What are “hits” for a Web service? A: A “hit” is the term used in the StrikeIron Marketplace to refer to a counter that is decremented every time a subscriber invokes and accesses a Web service.
Top Q: What is the relationship between “hits” and subscription pricing levels? A: An invocation of an operation can count as no hits, one hit, or any number of hits depending on the Web service. The subscriber decides how many hits they need and then buys that package level. For example, a Web service may offer three monthly subscription levels: $9.95 for 100 hits, $49.95 for 1000 hits, and $199.95 for 10,000 hits. The customer decides which one best represents his or her expected usage level and then subscribes to it. Top Q: What happens if a user does not use all the “hits” for a paid subscription? A: At the end of the specified time frame (month, year, or 90-day trial), the counter is reset and starts over. Unused hits are not carried over. If the user uses more than the allocated hits for the specified time frame, then they are charged an additional fee (an “overage fee”) that is usually higher than the normal per-hit fee.
