I always thought good businessmen did whatever they could to cut expenses. Some of us have been in the biz a long time and know the difference between a good host and a bad one, a fast server that's properly configured and a slow as shit one that isn't......I've had bad experiences with expensive hosts and great experiences with cheap ones.....price was never the factor that determined how good a host was.

I guess when you insist on having such a high margin in your business you have to justify it somehow, and I guess the way to justify it is to say the other side is skimping on something or won't be around very long.

Funny though, I remember the mom and pop hardware stores and other retailers saying the same thing when Wal-Mart moved to town. Wal-Mart was retailing items for less than the wholesale cost of the small stores.....and they complained and complained and said sure they may be cheap but it won't last because it's below cost, and nobody who works there can help you with questions about complicated products......but Wal-Mart still thrives and those old mom and pop stores are now boarded up vacant buildings.
