I'm confused about the licensing fees for Force.com, they start from $10/app/user (http://www.force.com/platform-edition/index.jsp?d=70130000000rza8&internal=true)

 

If I was to write an LOB app on force.com for a client with 50 users, would the client have to pay at least $500/month just to host it on force.com?

 

If so, how do you monetize the apps, $500/month sounds a bit steep for hosting costs alone.

 

Please let me know.

I have a custom object Employee which has a First Name field and a Last Name field.  I would like the "Record Name" displayed to the user everywhere for this object to be the concatenation of the First Name and Last Name field.  However, when the user enters a new Employee they should type First Name as one field and Last Name as another.  It seems to me that when I create a custom object the field name I give for the Record Name is the field that displays everywhere, but I don't see any way to make it a computed field. Is it possible to do this with a custom object? The build-in object Contact works this way, so I'm thinking there must be a way to do it.
