They already are using them...All we've done here is enable them to continue to use them rather than require them to move away. We (and the clients) know it's only temporary and once their site gets rolling they can expect to move to hosting that will meet their needs as they scale.

I don't anticipate the floodgates opening up to where we need more staff but that would be nice.
The main thing we're doing here is giving people the option of using shared hosting for smaller sites, new sites or during the initial building phase to save money.

That's true and for serious players good hosting is a deal breaker. There are a lot of hobbyists, newbies, cam models, etc. who are at a slower pace. Someone buying or shooting content who wants to get a site started but only has a few dozen scenes in the can has a much harder time justifying paying for good hosting in the beginning. Next to the Visa/MC high risk fees, hosting is the biggest barrier to entry for a lot of new site builders.
If we weren't already getting requests for this on a regular basis we wouldn't have made the move. The goal is to make it realistic for someone without a large budget to build a pay site that people might actually join.
Thanks everyone for all the bumps.
