A: Yes, the challenge with offering a lifetime deal is that it simply wouldn’t be economically sustainable—server costs are ongoing, and the service requires consistent maintenance to ensure high uptime. That’s also why AppSumo recognizes that, in this case, an LTD isn’t a practical option.
That said, when it’s time to renew after the first year, you’ll be able to continue with us directly under...
I disagree, Nick. Sure, offering LTDs *permanently* may be unsustainable. But *temporarily* during your campaign here on AppSumo? It's perfectly feasible. Many SaaS do limited Early Bird LTDs. In fact, I'd argue that it'd even be more beneficial — you get a nice boost in upfront capital, loyal early adopters, and tons of traffic/marketing. It's all about "how" you strategically offer LTDs.
AppSumo limits responses, so in short: it’s high maintenance — e.g. when clients break their sites, we check what plugin caused it (not something most hosters do). Server costs are ongoing too, and people expect high uptime. Hosting isn’t your typical SaaS.
The offer’s actually strong: ~$1.60/site/month, and kind of lifetime since users can renew under the same conditions.
Q: premium license of backup bliss
how do i get premium version of Backup Bliss plugin on an existing site so that I can create a backup for migrating to Tastewp?
I am super disappointed that this is not a lifetime deal (and equally disappointed that AppSumo is veering away from what made it so special). Do you plan on adding any lifetime deals to the mix? I’m sure plenty of Sumolings (myself included) would be eager to buy!

Hi If I host a site with you, do I still need to worry about backups, or do you handle automatic backups with restore options available if and when needed? Thanks
A: We do create backups for safety reasons, however it's not a one-click restore you can do from your side. That's why we included the Backup Migration premium plugin, so that you can take backups easily & automatically.
Q: If this was a LTD, I would have bought it (even at a higher price point)...AppSumo is about LTDs

Q: Backups and restore
Hi
If I host a site with you, do I still need to worry about backups, or do you handle automatic backups with restore options available if and when needed?
Thanks
