We have evaluated the market. Charging low is a vicious cycle, you do not earn and you end up winding up your market. This hurts the clients. If you have studied Economics especially Game Theory, you will know of the Lemons Problem in which the bad drives out the good.

We refuse to partake in such senseless pricing and opt to price at a premium giving reasonable support and we found that we get more clients this way. The clients were already badly bitten by fly by night web hosting companies and would not hesitate to pay a premium to ensure the quality of their hosting. In fact, clients are now asking “Why so cheap” rather than “Why so expensive”. We expect to follow this route towards better quality and more value added enhanced services.
