Ethics? Ethics don't enter into it, this is pure business necessity. Fact is, a $20/month VPS account has no rights and if it causes trouble it will be shut down, simple as that.
Pay $250/month for an account at Rackspace (or whoever) and you will be treated very differently.
- SwellJoe 17y agoPay $250/month for an account at Rackspace (or whoever) and you will be treated very differently. Actually, the reason you pay $250 (more, probably) at Rackspace, is because they will login to your box on a regular basis to "manage" things. Rackspace is focused on "managed hosting"; they help you administer your system, which is why people pay a big premium for it. Most hosting customers have no idea what they're doing, and they need a lot of hand-holding, and a "grownup" to make sure things stay sane on their systems.
- sho 17y agoTrue. A rackspace account is more like $450 for a single server. They keep their prices secret for a reason.
