Yes, I keep reminding clients that the cost of processors and storage  
and bandwidth are always dropping, while the cost of human  
understanding and expertise is always rising.

There's been more than one 15yo who reckons they can lease a server in  
a hosting centre like ServePath http://servepath.com (who I use),  
install a control panel like cPanel http://cpanel.net and sell shared  
hosting. And then their machine get hacked and they're on cPanel's  
forums pleading for someone to tell them what to do. I pity their  
customers.
