Pricing went up again on addons/modules and themes

[Patrick]

As an example - https://hostbillapp.com/clientarea/index.php?/cart/&step=3

The new theme is $400

Pricing is very confusing, doesn't have much justification.

A module that takes 10 minutes to code is being sold for $200+. Kris isn't worth $1,200 per hour. It's just highway robbery.

The $1,200 per hour is if it sells just one copy. That's not accounting for multiple sales.

Kris, please justify your prices.

It's funny because as you previously commented, they have a lot of job postings yet we hear no noise from KBKP.  There is no face to the company, no anything.  Is there even real jobs at the end of those offerings?  I can post tons of jobs everywhere to look large but means nothing.

If a guy who has one of the worst reputations i've ever seen online thinks he's worth $1,200 an hour i have to say, he is some kind of special.

I'm starting to think..... Did he just remove the "width=" option from the panel to make it 100% width? If so, then ...... that should only take 2 seconds.

At those rates, it would be...
- $12,000 per minute.
- $720,000 per hour.
- $5,760,000 per 8 hour work day.
- $28,800,000 per 40 hour work week.
- $1,497,600,000 per 52 week year.

So apparently he thinks he's worth $1.5 billion per year. That's if he only sells ONE COPY for 2 seconds of work. If he sells 10 copies, he'll be worth $14,976,000,000 per year. (fifteen billion smackers)

I'm sure he did a bit more to the template than just remove the width, but honestly I found that rather entertaining to ponder for a moment.

That is why we have not used hostbill for our serious work. We are just playing around but don't use it
Not because the software is not good but because the person or company behind it is not stable and we do not feel secure to trust it. So we will just keep playing around .
Skill is not every thing but character and trust is very important

This was the very concept behind what i was saying to another member on this site, but they don't believe you need to instill trust in a company to use the software.  I believe the opposite.  I don't like gambling my business on another's unstable business.  Thus, trusting them and i do not.

Exactly, well said. And it's such a risk to put it in production and have a business depend on its function, because he could change something, and it would then cost a ton of money to make it work again or keep using it or have it patched... and this amounts exactly to extortion.

Sorry i slipped on the mouse and keyboard.  My bad

Yes as I said. If I was the owner of a company and I want to employ some body I do not look at his skills only
I do not want to have some body in my company who has criminal back ground and can harm other clients no matter how skilful he is.

As for hostbill looking at the sudden change of price and behavior , The way he just removed all the forum , The way he did not communicate with the customers in webhostingtalk and ignored every thing was a very bad sign.

Man I love the software , Yes I do but I do not have the guts to recommend this to my boss or any body .

I do understand that they man has done a lot of job and I feel sorry that he could not get success but we are not responsible for his business failure .

Actually this guy is under some sort of spiritual attack. I know what is wrong but can't talk about this because it will be ridiculous for those who do not understand me .

Given the number of business owners he has pissed-off, I believe he is under a number of "spiritual attacks".  I don't know where you are from, but I know people in Odessa who are involved with this on a corporate level, but yes, it would sound ridiculous to people that are unfamiliar.  For the record, I am not involved in it, as my beliefs are quite different.

Can you explain?

[thetrusteeco]

Sorry Ketan, I'd really rather not say too much about them.  I am only assuming that beautiful is thinking of the same organization I am thinking of.

It would sound like East European Voodoo to anyone unfamiliar with it.  I probably shouldn't have mentioned it at all, but I believe that is what beautiful was referring too.  Even if it wasn't, I have no doubt someone has contracted them for a "spiritual attack" on Kris.  I'd write more, but the organization I'm thinking of is very secretive and illegal, and I don't think this is the place to discuss such things.  Nibb got spanked for stating more bluntly what they will contract to do, and I didn't like him stating it, and I'm not going to repeat it (he may have been referring to another group though).

sounds intriguing though   lol

That and many is included but I am not talking about a particular one.
The man mostly likely is in trouble and it is not limited to his business.

No disrespect, so i won't really comment other than to say what you say is very confusing.  Wish i understood but i don't.
