In reply to Ron.

I always find it interesting that people will pay $15 for a McD's trip, or $100/mo for their cell phone, but when it comes to their company or organizations web-presence, they suddenly think $20-50/mo is 'just wow' or 'outrageous.' :)

I've been with WP Engine for several years now (used to self-host on a friends monster server for FREE) and it's the best money I've ever spent (unless my time is only worth like $0.50/hr).
