"You get what you pay for" implies that a higher priced service is inevitably better. On the average this is probably correct, but in individual instances it certainly is not.

He knows flooring, drywalling, plumbing, electrical... the whole ball of wax. I've also dealt with quite a few web hosting companies and it is definitely NOT the case that the most expensive is the best. The bottom line is you should look for quality service, no matter what the cost - low end or high end. In the final analysis, the quality of your finished product is much more important than the cost to produce it (unless you go nuts.)
