Sometimes, a company's name is its most limiting factor
Othertimes, its flagrant stupidity on part of the site's owner.
In this case, its both.

"Unlike many hosting providers that use custom DNS and evasive advertising to hide the fact that they co-locate, we do not try to hide this and believe that co-location is the best strategy for ErnieAndCompany.com. We do what we do best: develop and support targeted hosting products, and Xodiax does what they do best: operate world class data centers. It is a logical partnership that creates a win-win-win situation for our customers, ErnieAndCompany.com, and Xodiax"

I realize that the company is attempting to remain business like in admitting that they do not control their own bandwith and do not have immediate access to their servers, but does it seem a whee bit lamishly overkill?
This is also yet another company that claims to offer "unlimited bandwith". Unfortunately though, ernieandcompany feels that their shared hosting services are worth $600 a year.

Nothing wrong with that, if that is the truth than I want the truth, not some lie.

No. It seems well thought out and well written.

That flash intro is quite possibly the most pathetic thing I have ever seen.

That comes out to about $50/month. If they're catering to the low-end hosters, then they're screwed. If they can provide something worth $50 (like telephone support), they *might* make it. Unlimited should be removed though.
