The "100% automated" thing is very nice (cuts down on management overhead,
so that all a reseller has to do is marketing I suppose), but their plans
are not competitive at all.
They charge $25 for 5 GB data transfer and 35 MB disk space. To get that
from a quality webhost shouldn't cost more than $10... and I'm talking
about consumer prices, not wholesale prices.
