Hi TheSickness,

At present we do not have a payment mechanism for just one month -- this is mainly because the transaction fees would be a significant fraction of the month's cost if it was done with, say, a credit card. We have been looking into ways to avoid this, and we will let you know when that comes to fruition.

I've moved this to Q&A since it's more of a general question. See this thread for a suggestion make this happen; this is not the only one though.

Charge 5 dollars for a one month membership. That way the fee does not affect your overall revenue but actually increases it.

If you spend 7 dollars on a Conquer Cup spot, you get 3 months of premium with it

This is a good idea. You don't need to reduce the price on a ratio basis, but instead charge more per month for shorter memberships than you would with a one year membership.

Most sales experience that I have dealing with credit cards is on a ratio basis. Is that not the case for this because it is over the internet? Charges for the credit card service/processing is flat rate and not percentage? That sounds unusual.
