You gave IOCoin theirs for 0.05 btc and yet you're asking 0.3 btc from APEX plus you want it yearly? Your prices is not very fair and I suggest everyone avoid your service if you can't even come up with a more fixed price. This other guy offers lifetime service for 0.25 btc and I believe 0.15 btc for yearly.
No, the explorers have been 0.25 for the last weeks, and aren't sponsored through just posted bounty offers. But the BTC/USD rate has crashed recently, and servers costs are still paid in USD or EUR... If BTC price keeps in the lower 4xx range, then 0.35 could be the next price. At 0.3 you were actually offered a price a bit lower (in USD) than other recent cryptos (when BTC was higher vs USD).
As for lifetime offers or un-provisionned services, well, I won't do that race to the bottom, period. Blockchain storage, CPU & memory requirements grow over time, and I'm not going to over commit to just pull the plug in 6 months. The current infrastructure WILL BE upgraded every few months to accommodate growth (already has been once), even if no new blockchain explorer is added.
