I had to turn away a new web hosting client today
Why?
Because of the way their non-profit funding is setup they insisted on pre-paying for 2 years and I would not allow it. Who knows if I'll still be in the local web hosting business in 2 years? I probably won't.
But still turning away $718.80 ($29.95 x 24) was not easy to do.
The max I accept is 1 year and you get 2 months for free.

Thankfully I am only "RossMAN" on the net and in person things are different and a little more realistic.
I've even had to stop marketing my web hosting, I'm only getting new clients from word of mouth now. It's amazing that local small businesses are willing to pay $19.95/mo for only 50MB/2GB with no cPanel access. I get maybe 3 support tickets a week which are usually "I forgot my password"
It's difficult sometimes to think I'm actually making money off this.
