@Emad-R Exactly, that's more than running your own. $2.95 PER WEBSITE is quite expensive. Run your own and you can do it for $.35 per site!

No you cannot. Not for a single site or even a dozen.

$5 vultr instance / 12 sites comes in at $0.42

That doesn't count the labor to maintain, patch, make resiliant (excluding content related development, etc).
While certainly not expensive, it is also certainly not $0.35.

Ah, but don't forget, when we did a labour study we found that dealing with your own install had lower labour than when dealing with a shared instance because you don't get raw access. So we lowered labour.

So my numbers were obviously without labour, but so were the shared numbers. If you include labour both go up, but the shared goes up more from what we found in testing.

Because the open source code itself can't be gotten rid of. Once something is Open Source, it's always Open Source, at least that's how I understand it.

Exactly, open has total protection for the consumer. Once the code is open, it's open. Period. There is no going back because it belongs to everyone at that point.

like releasing a photo of yourself and trying to take it back. It's already out there
