Hi, That is exactly what I was planning to do first here in Turkey actually. Buying a cache license and offering affordable Cache hosting.
One of the disadvantages of Cache (for web development) is that you cannot find an affordable hosting like the ones you can find with MS SQL Server. For example, I have an account with an hosting firm which gives me 20GB of web space, 3 SQL Server Databases (limited with my web space) 28GB monthly bandwidth, 12 domains, unlimited mail etc, and all is for $35/month... Not a dedicated server or an high qulity shared hosting but I could host my clients' projects at almost no cost for web projects. Now, of course Cache is different than SQL Server, but while making an offer for web development, you cannot say that this is my development fee, and this 7-10 thousand is for Cache license, and you have to pay this much for the dedicated server (cause you cannot install Cache unless you have a dedicated server on the net)....
