Steven,

This is great feedback! Great point on the regular "gotchas" of inexpensive hosting features.

Andy,

I would add in 

        * Database account administration as a separate line item
        * Application and O/S Logging strategies
        * Systems and Application Monitoring, including security
        * Non-Functional test strategies for security changes
Also maybe a line about things to avoid falling into, like phpMysqladmin, cpanel  etc ...


Cheers
Steve
