Hi Neo! You are absolutely correct. EVERY company should evaluate their BEP, including Independent Web Professionals, IMO. Only the business owner can determine what the BEP is for their operation and what tools to purchase in order to meet their goals.

We are GPL compliant. Therefore our business model goes beyond selling Products. ServerPress is Support driven. This includes Product Updates, New Features, Troubleshooting and many other perks we provide our Members. Let's also remember quite a bit of our earnings goes back to sponsoring WordCamps internationally. We couldn't stay a pillar for the WordPress Community if we are fiscally irresponsible.

Again, I personally thank you for your feedback. I love that you bring up a great point in regards to BEP. I think many will benefit from that comment. We will always put our Customers first in our decision making process. I firmly believe one of the best things a Company can do for their Customers is ensuring stability so services (Professional, Community and otherwise) can be provided ongoing! We trust that each Customer will determine for themselves whether a tool is valuable in their Workflow.
