Good point Sean, I don't think it is logical to charge a cost for something like this. It really is something the hosting company MUST do rather than a "new service".
I can't imagine a hosting company would keep their Windows hosting customers very long (or attract new ones) without providing this. It's not really considered by the customer as something "extra", like extra IP addresses, but as a requirement.
Just my opinion of course.

Please see this post http://support.jodohost.com/showpost.php?p=34800&postcount=2 for some explanation of why they are charging 50 cents. It apparently requires more work right now to setup per domain.
I know other hosts are already providing this service. I imagine that there are many-many more hosts that are not providing it yet. JH is taking the extra step to provide the service right now for a low fee and will eliminate the fee once its a mainstream feature throughout their systems. They could just say they're not going to support it yet. This solution seems like a good compromise.

Homer, fair comment. I appreciate that point of view.
To be honest the .50 is no problem for me personally so long as it is removed later. I guess we are really moving into the "how does JH compare to other hosts" territory now, i.e. getting 2.0 up and running, that's a tangent I don't really care for.
Thanks.

Homer,
I read it the same as you. I am also in the service industry and understand the cost. The cost should not be reaccuring (sp?). When a software package upgrades do they charge you a monthly fee? No they might charge an upgrade fee but not a monthy fee. If Jodo wants to beta test this out that is fine....pick a couple of good customers and let them test it out at no charge, but to tell people that they are working out the kinks and still charge is kind of funny.
I am not saying that I am not happy with jodohost. Over the last couple of months they have been as stable as any other host that I have had, and I am happy with the support. I am just saying that they keep on adding costs and it won't be the cheapest option around.

It is not really possible for us to migrate control panels, we have MANY MANY users on hsphere, once you are this large it is really hard to just switch, even if there is something better.
I don't see anything better than hsphere on the market now, if we did anything it would be in-house, nothing else meets the needs we have for shared, reseller, and soon vps and dedicated servers like hsphere does right now.
