While that's true, I did read through his Wordpress overview and I might actually choose them if I want to go the free route, plus I trust the Wordpress brand. There's a risk with bringing up competitors even if it's not in a 100% positive light.
That being said, I'm also concerned about data migration and since Posthaven will be around for at least a couple years (I know they made a promise for longer), I might just go the paid route for seamless integration.
- rdl 14y agoI'd be more interested in Posthaven if there were a way to pay something like $250 once. (maybe following the pinboard model of escalating price)
- jonathanjaeger 14y agoI think that's not a typical case though. That's just prohibitively high for most people, especially people who don't know whether they can trust the product or want the product that long. I can imagine myself paying paying $5/month for something like this for a couple years, but the chances of me having this as my hosted blog for 10+ years is slim (at $250 the breakeven point for me would be about 3.5 years).
- rdl 14y ago$250 might be the wrong price, then. Maybe it's $100 initially? It's not so much for my own personal blog but for third party things. Sometimes it's easier to raise money for something all at once, vs. have an ongoing responsibility. If a group wanted to set up something like "Y Combinator Summer 2011 founders", getting people to contribute money up-front might be easier than having to pass the hat every month or year.
