You know, it's really easy to focus on money and say, "I want this client because I want the cashflow assosciated with their business." Sometimes you need to just stop and think, and say, "Is it worth working with this client?". That may be really hard to do sometimes in today's job markets, but there are a lot of bad clients out there who will cause you more problems then they are worth. I learned this myself the hard way after I got burned several times. So instead of focusing on how to bend around 2nd rate hosting services, you may want to be glad that the client left you when they did. After all, maybe they would have caused you more problems then they are worth.
