[shrug] I figure if the person buying the webhosting and the person selling the webhosting are both happy, and if neither is doing something egregious to the rest of us (e.g., spam) then let them work it out between themselves, eh? There are enough hosts around with enough different ways of doing things that you just have to try several of them until you find an environment you like. Or, in my case, 3 different environments for differing needs of diverse projects, actually... I've never understood why somebody would stick around with a host that is clearly not suited to their needs, though... I guess your first move can be so traumatic that you never realize that it's not that big a deal with a little prep and planning, so you stick with your second host no matter what... But I had several forced moves early on, and enough different clients with hosts I hated, that I figured out what I wanted and went and found it over the years... -- Some people have a "gift" link here.
