I don't want to labour the point, but there's an old saying:
"you get what you pay for" - if your're looking for support then
you will need to pay a rate which allows the host to give it. Look
at, say, http://www.webmaint.net/hosting/, http://www.centreworld.com
or others for an idea of why higher prices are justified.

My gateways page: http://www.zolotek.net/zrl/zolotek/gateways
has a few comparisons, though it's currently being updated.

Totally agree!
We too could have set up IC boxes and left them to the users abilities. But
we decided to dedicated a little more resources to security, have live
monitoring of users stores with instant support to get a users store back
online if things fail, offer user support of HTML and IC tag help and have
customized many installations to a users needs (not one store is a
Default/basic install), we often install a separate install of IC if a user
needs more than the shared stores can offer.... We also house the servers,
no co-locations or leased servers, but we do have multiple OC3 providers,
backup systems and personal support from humans who know IC... again worth a
few dollars more...

Yes, we charge a little more, but we think/live/breath Interchange for over
4 years (oh, sorry that brings back Minivend memories, as I look at the old
700 some pages of the lovely DOCs we had) :)
