I love trying out new services but I hate how secretive people are about the prices of their ‘beta’ services. Being so secrective means I’m not even going to bother trying the free account.
Flywheel Hosting
Flywheel sounds pretty awesome actually. Possibly even worth me moving off my Media Temple GS. Unfortunately I see nothing about price on their site. Not even a range of pricing.
I accept that you’re starting out and you may not have a solid number picked yet. You certainly know how low you can go before you’re not making any money at all though. You know what your competitors are charging for their hosting services.
How about a statement that says you’ll be inline with competitors like Page.ly or WP Engine? That would at least let me guess at my costs.
I run a business if I can’t evaluate costs of a service I have no idea if my total cost of ownership is higher or lower by moving to a new host.
No business should be getting in to something without evaluating the total cost of ownership. It’s simply irresponsible. I'll check back on Flywheel when I have a chance but it's something I can't properly evaluate yet.
