I'm sure they are well aware they're going to lose business. They'll be
betting the business that walks out the door will be much less than the
increased revenue from the people who just have too much inertia or don't
care.
Remember that for some of us, tripling of any cost is an outrage, but for
many of their customers, $150 a month or even $1500 a month is chickenfeed
and at those site owners, noone will give a damn.
Frankly, I hope Interland continue to think like that - it's all the more
business for the rest of us.
I think Interland will profit greatly from this move. But I wouldn't
have any of my sites there, that's certain.
