navindra thanks! The biggest factor from surveying individuals were that they had no experience running servers and don't wish for that headache and at the same time, they want some thing affordable. I figured my pricing for introductory is great and if they need more resources, I can discuss upgrades or refer them out / assist them in spinning up their own instance.
I want to do this out of good faith of the community and at the same time, protect myself from abuse. This is why I manually spin the instances up after payment and allow 14 days free trial. If something isn't right, customers are free to leave 🙂 Additionally, I'm not afraid to say no if something would hinder my resources or my reputation as well.
Support is also a big factor here. I'll answer everything that's thrown at me, and if there's an issue, I can easily take the logs and reach out to the community here, who have proven helpful for the best interest of running the core software.
