"It wouldn’t make sense for UpThemes to switch their storefront’s hosting from Pagely to Site5 simply for marketing purposes. ... Why leave a service you’re satisfied with?"

I never said they ought to switch. That's for them to judge; I couldn't possibly know what's best for them.

But, as a potential customer, I'd want to know that they trust what they are offering so much that they use it themselves. Then I'd know that, if the service had a problem, they'd have an incentive to solve it for their own benefit even more than mine.

Otherwise it's a case of "Don't do as I do, do as I say." No thanks!
