The scary thing is that enough people blindly pay this rate. If they didn't, they'd lower it to a more reasonable level...

- 18pfsmt 15y agoLast week I met with a friend of a friend that owns a commercial door distribution and installation business. He's been in the business for 20 years, but is clueless about anything internet related. I went over his monthly bills for advertising (all of it) and web hosting costs. Turns out, he spends about $3,500 per month on hosting and advertising. Most of the advertising is for DEX, and his site is a crappy little static site. I don't think the average small business owner really understands the internet, and I don't think the average HNer really understands small business.
- codenerdz 15y agoHowever expensive his hosting/advertisement is, I hope he is able to justify it by attributing increase of sales/revenues from this expense.
