borked: the prices on there website are in black and white. So i can't argue with you there. It is a lot for the money. As you say if they arent doing any managed services then they can afford to have a less per client cost. But hardware is still pricey and they still have to pay for bandwidth. They cant just rely on one source of traffic. You have to have redundant providers, which you still have to pay. But if you dont have a sysadmin working unless he is creating an income is a pretty niche market these days. In the old days of hosting this was standard. That crushed the dedicated server market back then. People realized they didnt need or have the time to run a dedicated and went back to shared accounts. The managed server market has opened up the market again to a lot of people who would never run a dedicated if they had to pay a sys admin. Mainly for cost purposes.
