The business customes often don't trust free scripts though, and the more you make them pay the more they think you're good... it's kinda weird when you think about it.

I actually lost a customer because I was going to set her up with a stable opensource cms and only make her pay for a custom theme. She kept saying "oh what I want would probably costs thousands of dollars and take several months to build, and I just dont' have the money"... A little knowledge is a dangerous thing, eh?

I try to set prices low enough that they are affordable to people jsut starting out, have value for the money, and high enough that I won't go out of business offering those prices. There are a few good hosts out there.

The people who oversell bandwidth kinda cut into my sales though. People see the same amount of space but several GB of bandwidth elsewhere, and they just don't know that if they actually used all that bandwidth they'd be asked to go pay more. With my services, and the services of a few other webhosts, what you see really is what you get.

Unfortunately, there's an "ultracheap" bandwagon for webhosting... it's the last refuge of the .com wannabees. But I find I'm enjoying my work, and I can just do the best I can.
