Can you explain why you wouldn't go with wordpress.com? As someone who's not running WP, I'm curious how you differentiated the services.

My users want custom plugins and themes. Wordpress.com doesn't offer that for less than $500/mth, last I checked. WPEngine will, within reason.

I don't charge for my services, though the various bloggers have made donations out of niceness.

It just sort of ... grew.
