you should charge 5 cents not 4.4
Reasoning?
you need to offer escrow or a bond people don't know you and are afraid you will run with the gear.
How? What other services are doing this?
How much power do you have? you said mega watt
1 magawatt. Depending on how successful, may or may not expand.

Some background: I am an owner of a currently under-development megawatt mining farm in China. I intend to make the facility available for hosting and to serve a global user base. Now the farm is near-ready, and naturally, I need to decide on the prices quickly. A common dilemma that is perhaps faced by many in similar situation: Too high, you won't get customers, at least, happy ones; too low, you may have to cut corners thus hard to make your business sustainable.
In total, I invested about USD 20,000 for the infrastructure (http://imgur.com/a/zQAY2 ) and will pay RMB0.26 per kWh for electricity - I know that this is not the lowest in industry and are not smug about it. In terms of hosting price, I am thinking RMB0.30 per kWh (or 4.4 USD cents).
To ensure security, I will hire a security guard (RMB 3000 per month ). I also have a local partner who will take care of the technical issues.
After some market research, I think that 4.4 USD cents per kWh is likely to be very competitive for now - this site (https://bitmainwarranty.com/ ) for example is one of the services I compared mine with.
My question is intended to be directed to people who are already using this kind of services:
Do you think 4.4 USD cents per kWh is a good price? - There may never been good enough price and I'm aware of that even with this price, you won't be able to ROI within a year assuming coin price will stay more or less the same and difficulty level will grow a moderate 3% per adjustment.
If you are using any services, I would like to know what is the price that you are paying. And what are some other considerations that went into your final decision.
Thanks.

How does the escrow or bond work? I assume you give someone reputable access to certain amount of fund? Would like to learn more about it. Thanks
