Maybe this has something to do with it?

There's a really good reason that I don't link to my apps on this site (or most, for that matter). They are free apps, running on a shoestring budget.

But that whole account looks a little dodgy. The posts make it seem like one of those "I made $30K/mo, from my living room! You can too!" outfits.



People always underestimate how easy it is to sell $70k for $30k.


As long as you don't literally sell dollar bills, it can actually be quite hard.


And this is why so many in the industry mistake selling $70k for $30k as "product market fit".


I've had the very nice pleasure of always doing business with providers who would simply drop access to the server when bandwidth had been met or exceeded with my service.

But what's odd to me is that I don't often read about other people having the same experience. So... are all of you seriously with hosts that don't shut off access to your servers?

I'd rather that happen than suddenly get a bill I can't afford.
