Yeah - like with everything in Ireland, you pay more for less.
The thing that's keeping me from Irish hosts is the lack of the "small" features that really should be unlimited - like subdomains,
ftp accounts, etc.
One thing that VERY few hosts have is a price policy set in stone where everything is precalculated and has it's own "cost" - everything from Disk space & bandwidth to MySQL DBs, Fantastico & cPanel.
I have yet to see a hosting company let costumers make their own hosting packages, adding whatever features they want and charging them accordingly. *Cough*Hint*cough*
