Pure guess, but I'd imagine that payment processor fees don't make it particularly profitable to offer price levels much lower than $5.

It's more about support costs if I were to guess. How many support tickets does it take for their profit on $25 a year to disappear? (if $2.50 a month is discounted to $25 a year).

[bluedino]

I always like prgmr.com's stance on that. "Please note that these plans include $2.50 worth of support"

One thing that could help is having the ability to pre pay/load credits, so you could have a small discount that way

This is the same theory that NearlyFreeSpeech.net uses.

Linode / AWS already offer prepaid discounts.

Where Could i find that ? For Linode AND AWS Discount.

For Linode: https://www.linode.com/docs/platform/prepaid-billing-and-pay...

[raverbashing]

For AWS look at "reserved instances"

I'm not sure about Linode

Make it so you have to buy at least 2 months then

Or even pay up front for the year. Perfect for the hobbyist market. I'd probably buy four of them.
