how about the hardware cost? to keep the monthly low, some of the cost has to be made up with a one time fee... just because its called a SETUP fee, doesnt mean its spent on building a server physically.
A host has to pay for HARDWARE, BANDWIDTH, POWER, RACKSPACE, COOLING, SUPPORT TECHS, SWITCHES, Software licenses, ETC.
You think your $200/month is going to cover ALL that, and help the host make back his money on the hardware, AND THEN make a profit? OH WAIT, hosts are supposed to act as CHARITY'S.
You pay a setup fee to take a little off the hardware / implementation cost so that the monthly can be kept lower.
If you dont want a setup fee, im sure hosts would glady RAISE your monthly so that they can make the cost back in time.
Total idiot.
