Web Host Chat - View Single Post - RapidSwitch price increase on power usage?

IMHO not reasonable when they offer their own servers @ £39/month which includes 10TB of traffic - why have their own server prices not gone up and actually have been going down?

Poundhost are also raising colo/rackspace prices by similar figures. Looks like BlueSquare are squeezing these guys and they in turn are squeezing end clients. Sure energy prices are increasing, but ironically so is their profitability - sounds strikingly familiar with recent BP announcements of massive profits even though petrol prices are the highest ever. But when customers complain about having to pay more, of course lay everything onto the energy prices.

Bluesquare is going the Redbus route and prices will probably continue to rise.
