So that means they either have to earn significantly less ever.. or charge more for the hosting in the first place..

As Rob said above, just because someone offers it, doesn't make it viable or sustainable..

I think my clients would prefer I stay here for another 9 years.. not just die and phoenix like the majority of the industry seems to be doing on a monthly basis.

As for Crucial RAM... do a search on the Dell Warranty topic we had recently..

It's so easy to look in from the outside and demand XYZ and wax the lyrical on how evil and mean we are to charge such devilish amounts..

The customer has the ultimate vote with their feet.. and I'll tell you what, I've never had it better... every month is better than the last, with sustained ~ 100% growth year on year for the last 4 years... so If I'm doing it wrong... I think I'll carry on doing as such.
