Try and do it for more than one new user a day. And once you get that
figured out, toss a free 30 day trial into the mix. What you end up with
is a money loser that doesn't scale - it will cost you too much too
install and too much to maintain, never mind what happens when your
users want access to advanced features that don't exist in Drupal.
I'm not aware of any weblog management or CMS systems that give hosters
and service providers the scalability, reliability and flexibility that
they need. If it existed outside of Blogware, we wouldn't have built
Blogware.
Try it, your customers and your bottom line might like it. If anyone is
interested, I can get them up and running today with a reseller account.
