Gary,

You wrote

"I see it as a waste of time if a provider like me, paying $1500 a year"

which is NOT a true statement. It WAS $500 a year on the OLD IPS program and
now it is just a flat ONE-TIME fee of $1500. There are no recurring yearly
charges except an OPTIONAL maintenance fee after the first year. The $1500
one-time fee also includes free support and free upgrades for a full year.

and you also wrote:

"knowing that if my client hits your url on their shopping cart, browser's
 around and finds all your ISP links, and ends up leaving me. I would drop
 your program in a instant without even thinking twice...I am a small web
 hosting company and running my business on my own, I can not afford to
loose
 my clients because of a link in their shopping cart. Look at any other
 shopping cart on the market, from what I seen, none of them plaster their
 name like you do. a simple copyright line at the bottom would be good"

All we include in the store generated pages is one logo with a single link
to our web site. All you need to do is replace the one logo image and link
in the skin master files and it is removed from all store pages. In fact, I
would replace them with your company's logo/link to help promote your
business through your customer's web stores. That is why the logo is there -
to provide a place for such a promotion - and you could easily use this to
promote your business.

As for customer's leaving you, I understand your concerns but as you know,
if customers are unhappy with your service, support, or prices, they are
going to shop around for a new hosting company anyway.
