Well, to this I can honestly say that that is not true.
We do CF Hosting and charge low fees, without any problems.
We're currently averaging $8.00 a month (on a year plan) or in some cases
users select the $5.00 for life plan that DOES include CF Hosting. So, if
you really feel that the users must pay more, simply because the price is a
bit more, than that's your opinion, which you are entitled to have.
