One thing i get free with no catches? That isn't what Chris said, Chris said You get what you pay for.

By this he means by paying more for something the service should be better, that is not always true.

For example a 10Tb server with Rapidswitch would come in at around £49/month and with Open Hosting £180-200/month, yet i find RS support to be faster, non APC reboots are a lot faster at RS and i've noticed more downtime/congested routes on the OH network than on RS's. (*based on what i've seen over the last 30 days*).

I do however consider OH's hardware to be more reliable, as my RS servers do crash occasionaly and my ones supplied by OH of similar spec have never crashed doing exactly the same tasks and load. And OH are willing to customise things slightly more for you it would apear.

The question is though what services are important to you to justify the extra money, sometimes its something you dont need, so then you don't get what you pay for?

But i agree most "free" things in life somehow come back to wanting your soul.
