Comment on Hosting for $1/month. Clients in Africa; me in Europe. Am i doing this wrong?

Comments

A second visit to this thread got me thinking and I got curious about your reasons for offering cheap hosting for Africa.

I could only think of 2 reasons, either you are trying to do some good or you just a guy on hustle trying to build something successful.

As a web/software developer from Africa who spends lots of time working on the next facebook, I pay my bills from the revenues from my web hosting business.

By offering hosting for $1 per month you'll end up leaving a good number of African tech hustlers broke. When you think about what you're doing, there is no big difference between you and Franc Lucas.

I don't mean to judge your intentions and I totally understand you trying to make a buck(its actually a cool idea and am sure it'd sell) but I thought it'd be nice for you to know the impact you'd have on Africa.
