Again, the list above are just some ways that hosts can lessen their operational cost and DOES NOT mean less quality service.

1. Using clone hardware vs name brand? - I'll take the reliability, performance and 4 hour replacement service of Dell PowerEdge servers over a clone anyday. Yes, you can indeed cut cost but at what expense for your customers in terms of reliability and performance?
3. Not paying licensing fees? Wow! That practice will get a hosting company in seriously deep trouble fast! Microsoft and others do not play around with companies stealing from them and will bring down some serious fines and legal action. Again, cutting cost like that DOES lessen the quality of service because a business who steals is one that will soon be out of business!
4. reducing or outsourcing support does not affect quality of service? Tell that to customers who demand more and more personal support service.
You do get what you pay for
Best Wishes for a .Net Success!
