We've lost a few clients over the past 6 months to godaddy because of their hosting plan prices versus ours. Sure, we spend a little extra to run RH Enterprise instead of opting for an open-source OS, but that's certainly not the end of it. Their website claims 5Gb space/250 Gb traffic + extras for $3.99 a month, but I just don't get it. Heck, even if you get one of their dedicated boxes there is no way you could make a profit at that price.
I did a reverse IP check on one of the clients we lost to them, and the check showed that over 2400 domains were hosted on ONE IP! See for yourself here:

(Now, I realize that not all of those domains may be active, but still, that's a lot of domains on one IP.)
If you do the math, well....that's a heck of a lot a space. There aren't any hard drives that large, are there? I can see adding some NAS, but we're talking tera-quads (Star Trek reference there) of space -- so how do they do it?
