It is nice prespctive there!
Do you want to be a budget host, lots of low-paying clients, or do you want to set yourself apart with less clients but higher paying? I've gone down the budget road, and I can tell you it's not nearly as enjoyable as working with the same clients day in and day out, fostering a real relationship with them. I think there's something to be said for hosts that foster true relationships with their clients.
It depends on the quality of service you'd like to offer. I generally favor interacting with high quality outsourced support over a know-nothing owner.
I also like companies that have reliable service and just do an all-around good job. I'd pay up to about $10/month if I can be sure that this is going to be the best experience I've ever had.
