With BizSpark or WebsiteSpark, you have three years. Then, a Windows Web Server 2008 R2 license only costs $469. If a business can't manage to scrape $469 together after three years, they probably have larger problems.
- dpifke 16y agoEven a startup can scrape together $469. But $469 per server is another story, especially in businesses that grow to require hundreds of machines. $469 is a significant percentage of the hardware cost. The last time I bought a bunch of servers, they were in the $2500 range.
- Encosia 16y agoHow many startups need hundreds of machines to get to ramen profitability though? Any time the licensing cost issue comes up, it seems that the goalposts move back and forth an awful lot.
- noodle 16y agoi agree that it isn't that expensive anymore. more than anything, its the existing reputation and simply the fact that there is a cost. there's a huge psychological gap between charging $0.01 and charging 0.
