Paid hosting

[humeniuk]

LP will be updated to support paid hosting as well as free hosting. We are currently considering which payment options to integrate (ie. Paypal, Google Checkout, etc.)

In addition to offering different paid hosting packages, another option will be to offer free hosting, but with a one-time signup fee. Some users have found that even a small signup fee ($1, $2) dramatically reduces the number of spam, garbage, and abuse site registrations.

Another option would be to offer basic hosting for free, but charge a small fee for adding MySQL, which tends to be the heaviest consumer of server resources.

nb - this feature may not be compatible with LPv2 and thus may have to wait until LPv3.

Good idea.

Could you give us an idea of when the LPv2 and LPv3 will be released?

Thanks.

Will LP v2 users be able to upgrade to LP v3 this time?
