It always amuses me to see 1) people complain of the need to pay for a service 2) [more amusing point] the free stuff is not good enough. Beggars can't be choosers, if one wants something, earn enough and pay for it.

My solutions? There are two: 1) Work long enough to have reasonable amount of savings to fund my start-up, free stuff is nice, but they are sometimes risky. Reason being, how much leverage do you have when you didn't pay for something? 2) Be creative, there are always solutions out there. Writing an article to complain about a free service being not good enough really make me wondering if these 'entrepreneurs' are ready for the real world.

My start-up runs on a 512MB shared instance on $9/mth, and so far it meets my need.

BizSpark may have good perks, but it is beside the point.
