    In case you didn’t notice, I have a hosting business. This is why I’m “obsessed” in figuring out how much someone would pay for it, if they were serious about what they are asking.

    By asking you “how much would you pay?”, I’m trying to gauge how serious you are about it. Your refusal to go ahead and name any amount for something that you said “I’d pay for that” shows me that you are not serious about it and therefore a bad idea.

      No, I didn’t. Probably because you never said you did. Weird how that works.

      Now, had you said “Hey, I run a business, something like this would probably cost X per year and I think I would have Y users. Which would mean I’d minimally have to charge Z to make this viable” I probably would have given my input.

        you never said it.

        The whole conversation started with me talking about Communick offering a subscription service. Communick is my business. I thought that was clear. My bad if it wasn’t.

        “Hey, I run a business, something like this would probably cost X per year and I think I would have Y users. Which would mean I’d minimally have to charge Z to make this viable”

        That’s not a good approach, because Y changes depending on the price point and X changes on what these Y customers would expect from the service.

        The only variable that can be fixed here is “how much you are willing to pay”, so this is why I am asking it.
