I thought the same thing.. got a call here and there when I was priced 50% less than everyone else. Then I raised my rates to slightly above competitive... and I didn't have any spare time at all.
People are weird... sometimes they equate bargain with lack of experience/skill and low quality.
My advice... negotiate with the people take note of what kind of work you are doing as doing something that everyone can do is fair to charge US$20, but doing something that few can do.. well adjust accordingly. I would never setup a server for that price... too much work and headache for so little money.
I charge lots for businesses, variable for regular people, and sometimes barter for students.
good luck!
