Looking for some feedback on a new project I'm working on (VPSs billed daily).

I want to preface this by saying this is a personal endeavor and NOT related to Secure Dragon at all.

I have an colocated server collecting dust at Dacentec and was thinking of what I could use it for then I decided to install OpenVZ on it to play with and then I got the idea of porting Wyvern over to my custom billing system and here we are today.

Is there any interest in VPSs that are billed daily instead of monthly/yearly? The way it would work is you purchase credits and then the credits are deducted each day the VPS is built.

I'm not looking to turn this isn't a company or expand Secure Dragon or anything, it's just an idea I had to put the server to good use and help offset the costs since I only use it for a VPN server and test bed these days.

I was trying to figure out the best pricing and specs and then I decided to just do a "build-your-own" solution instead, you can see the specs/pricing here: https://trexbyte.com (my daughter loves dinosaurs so she helped me pick the name of the site).

So what do you think? I'm looking for feedback on the pricing and if it's something you would be interested in even if not for year round use. It's cheaper than renting a dedicated server for a month if you just need the CPUs for a few days. I also tried keeping the pricing down for the base plan also.

Lastly, would this be more appealing if it were in a different location other than Dacentec (North Carolina)? I've got a few options that I can choose from in roughly the same price range (with setup fees).

Thanks!
