Antonio,

I agree with all your points. However, taking responsibility of hosting
means you need to have a very strong contract that covers yourself in case
of problems. I guess at the beginning it is better to start Consulting not
being responsible for hosting and later on to grow to the level when you are
ready to take over such responsibilities.
