Price being too high is an interesting question. I've found that people willing to pay, will pay a high price. You don't really gain anything putting it any low

Price being too high is an interesting question. I've found that people willing to pay, will pay a high price. You don't really gain anything putting it any lower. Those that want it free or else stay the same.
Maybe others have different experiences...
- ZenoArrow 9y agoConsider what's cheaper, paying for Caddy under its current pricing structure or paying for a consultant to configure NGINX? If the key selling point of Caddy is that it makes web hosting easier to manage, but you can get around that cost by paying a one-off cost for someone to set up a free, high-performance web server, you've taken away the most of the potential benefits. As a reference, you can see the current pricing structure for Caddy here: https://caddyserver.com/pricing https://caddyserver.com/pricing Note that the limited time introductory price is still more expensive over a year than paying a consultant for a couple of days to tweak NGINX.
- AndyNemmity 9y agoThat doesn't look more expensive than consultant, looks less. That's what I'm saying, if anything I think they may have underpriced that cost. That's way cheaper than most support options I've seen.
- ZenoArrow 9y agoIf you're seeing companies spending $600 a day for a devops consultant, I don't know what to say other than you can get much more affordable, high quality advice elsewhere. That said, the super high wages of IT staff in some parts of the US is a frequent source of surprise for me.
