I just would like to respond to this thread - tho I don't feel it appropriate to do this at Anandtech.
HostPC has been in business since 1998 - and has, every month except one, been in the black (ie profitable). The one month we were not was Nov 2003 when we had a cash outlay of nearly $10k for new hardware in the new datacenter. I'm happy to report that in December, we were back in the black and continue to be.
If I were to match the prices exactly with this other company, ****** (posters company and self promotion excluded) wouldn't be making enough to stay afloat.
I'm happy to report that HostPC has CONSISTENTLY worked to get you the BEST service, BEST hardware, and the BEST uptime available. We've consistently offered LOWER prices - I think there was only ONE price RAISE in our history. Every other time, offerings have included MORE and the price has DROPPED.
Many would consider us an "economy" host. What many don't understand is that we also host several Municipal Government sites, police departments, ambulance services, banks, emergency services departments, Elections departments. We're trusted by MANY Big name organizations, business and govt agencies - you can trust us with your sites!
Thanks for letting me respond to this thread - I had to get it off my chest :)
