Ubersmith possible big prices increases
Just a heads up for those who use Ubersmith and are not aware of potential significant price hikes that will likely come with v3.0.. I actually think Ubersmith, for the needs of a datacenter/ISP/provider, is incomparable and really has no peer, but that said, there are many in this WHT thread who have grave disagreements with Ubersmith's new "equitable for all" pricing strategy poised for new customers or those who upgrade to v3.0 (whenever that comes out), wherein they seem to want to be a "partner" and have a bigger stake in "profit per 'your' client" etc:

Holy crap that's expensive.
Doesn't affect any leb provider .
I'd find it difficult to believe that there are not a few LEB providers who do use Ubersmith (in some capacity)
BHost use it.
Ubersmith wasn't cheap to begin with. Here's the quote I got from my pre-sales inquiry:
...
Entry points range from $149 / month to $699 / month, and additional fees are based on the number of customers and devices being managed through Ubersmith.
When a company does this, something is terribly wrong, usually, or they have the monopoly/locked in enough ppl to afford it.
Same as I got when I asked.
