I really wasn't trying to say it would save you money in the end or that it would help sell software as you seem to think.
I think you might be missing the point here. If it does not in fact save significant money or help sell software--he's not interested.
I have a (currently underused) slicehost account. In my opinion these guys have historically been known for awesome customer service. They need to continue to do that, and not try to compete on price. I am not optimistic about their ability to deliver amazing service after the Rackspace acquisition, though.
