(One I've noticed lately is the '10for10.com' offer from Simpli hosting.) So, an alternate theory: the colo space (real-estate), power, and staffing costs have now come to dominate, and are not as subject to technological deflation. A 1U machine is still a 1U machine, even if its innards are more advanced. But, there's still some price improvement for people who don't need a dedicated machine. - Gordon No hard figures, but it feels like *non-dedicated* hosting prices have continued to go down, or at least more things (mailboxes, storage, domain names, etc.) are being thrown in at the same low-end price points.
