You hit the nail on the head right here. There are a lot of people in this business that always want a deal, but then wonder why their $79 a month server is down all the time.
It's just like anything else... where do you see the chance for a higher profit margain; a $100 server or a $1,000? On a $100 server it may be the 2 Free IP's I gave you and the free control panel that eat up the small profit margain on that server.
Sly is right too, you can't just look at the expense of the server. Just like any other business you have to look at what they need to make to stay in business so you don't have to change hosts all of the time.
