Some of them behave this way, but I haven't seen any indication that's it's due to not being in some no-argument build. And if it was, springing such a change vicariously in the service stream doesn't sound wise. Maybe they're pushing users to higher priced hosting packages? > They are in business of selling services, not development and best practices I don't see where development would be equired, but if your service is web-hosting you're most certainly in the business of building, maintaining, and configuring webservers. You of course have to know the best practices around the service you sell if you want to stay in business more than 6 months. -- Eric Covener cove...@gmail.com
