Hi Stefan, I'd argue that you are not a small contractor then, if you provide an invested infrastructure like hosting.
It may seem cheap up front for your customer, but eventually they pay much more as more hosting time goes by don't they? My point is about small contractors who just provide a service, as in deliverable code. That's 99% of my business. Except for one long-time customer I host on my personal Servers, all my customers have their own or are 3rd party hosted. > -----Original Message----- > From: Stefan Gonick [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, May 20, 2005 2:57 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: RE: Witango-Talk: Rumors of my demise have been greatly... > > At 04:22 PM 5/20/2005, you wrote: > >****** > >And besides, there are actually three sides to this coin. > > > >The other being when a small Contractor like myself has to > rely on some > >small projects to pay the bills (in between larger commitments). > > > >Many small projects will range from $ 500.00 to $ 3,000.00. > You can't > >ignore these, but you sure not going to get the project when > you have to > >slap a $ 3,000.00 license on top of the whole thing.
