I might be a bit late to the party, but...

1. Part number: each part is identified by the manufacturer's part number, right? I think it should use a user-defined part number, normally specific to the user. The reason for that is because you might want to treat jelly bean parts from different sources as the same thing, and additionally it prevents a mix of long/short and weirdo foreign part references.

2. Subscription: if I used this I would want to buy a pro license (even a hobbyist or maker might easily exceed the parts limits), and very bottom of my list of potential purchases are subscriptions. One reason is because I do things in spurts: for instance, I might spend a month or so designing and building a PCB and then it's all software for the next year. Paying per month for something I'm not using isn't an attractive proposition. Further, I don't want to think about this stuff after I'm set up - it should Just Work and otherwise drop off my radar. A price for a perpetual license is what I'd want before I even bother looking at whether it is something I want to use.

You did ask :)

dunkemhigh, thanks!

1. You can also specify an Internal Part Number (it's available only in the PRO version though)
2. You can pay the PRO features/limits on a monthly basis, only when you need them. Then you can keep using BOMIST's FREE plan, all your data is preserved. You won't have the PRO version features (namely, real-time pricing) and you can not add new parts/projects/orders if total number is greater than the FREE version limits, but everything is accessible and should work within the FREE limits. Does it make sense?

Thanks for the clarification. The pay-as-you-go aspect is an interesting twist which I would need to digest - on the one hand it's not a cliff edge if you stop paying, but on the other hand 12 Euro to add a part is a bit of a barrier.

I've got an old Intel dual Xeon terabyte RAID 1 server in storage that might now have a purpose if I can install LAMP on it and get it up & running again.  :-+

Should be more than adequate for axtparts.
It comes down to whether you want to run the server 24/7.
I use a tiny mini-ITX board with a quad core CPU, no fans and a NAS DB drive (OS on a small SSD). Consumes very little power, is completely silent and sits on the network.
Periodic backups are made to a separate NAS box.
