    Hi all,

    I hope you will share your perspective on the blogging industry by replying to this hypothetical question. Many thanks!

    If you will please, imagine that:

    1) One person invented Wordpress, and coded it themselves from scratch.

    2) You meet this person.

    3) They offer to host your Wordpress blog, and take personal responsibility for it's proper operation. You have direct access to them via email.

    4) The price is $25 per month.

    Would you be willing to pay to have the inventor of Wordpress host your blog and be personally responsible to you?

    Or would you skip this offer, and get a free Wordpress blog instead?

    Many thanks for playing along, I look for forward to your replies.

    Host free wordpress as the software does not need anyone but remember I am a tech guy and depends on your tech skills as well. I am not sure what he will do that I will not get for free.

    Thanks for your reply, I appreciate it. You raise a good question that, as you say, will be asked by many with solid technical skills.

    I like having full control over my blogs, so I'd rather use just the software itself on my own hosting ;)

    if he offered somthing that I felt was worth the 25$ then yes I would pay him. But if hes just hosting it on any old server then no.
