thanks for the detailed response lsc, very helpful. Either there's something different about the cost structure there or the competition is forcing them into offering below cost? I don't know. I remember a couple of years back when 1&1 offered three years free hosting, which I signed up for. I've used their service since and payed plenty for it, so maybe the 3 year horizon is fine by them...

well, considering that a server should last three to five years, /if/ power cost is low, they could still be turning a profit... it's just that even with free power, they are making less profit than I (or any other American dedicated server provider) would expect.
