Not meaning to be the voice of reason here,
but what guarantees do you have from JFK Jam For Kennedy, that once you have
paid for service you will get a full 3 months, 6 months, 12 months (lifetime?) level
of access of service.
I haven't read his web pages (I don't intend to). How do you know you will actually get what you pay for? While $20 may sound cheap, it could also relate to the level of service you can expect. ie. none.
I work in the industry, so I think I'm entitled to comment. Infact I've worked in the industry since it's inception back in the early 90's. If my experience can save you losses then I figure it's worth posting..
Just make sure you are fully aware of (a) the facts and (b) who you are dealing with before parting with your hard earned cash.
I can understand Jimmy's dbspot as it was free. With free I'd expect no real service level guarantee (SLA). I think a better setup for someone getting into offering hosting to DBPro forum users would be donationware, rather than have some fixed cost. Promote the fact that it's donationware and often you can be surprised at the result.
Correspondingly if what you offer is pretty basic service, then expect nothing.
