I don't think that's totally fair to say, we've put a considerable amount of effort into GitHub over here at EY, across all of our departments. GitHub offers a great product and it's really amazing to see them grow so fast, but that success also introduces a whole lot of new problems to the situation, many of which can be quite costly to solve.

It's just a conclusion that makes the most sense for both sides of the arrangement.

EY is worth every penny they charge because they provide an incredible quality and commitment of service. They are without a doubt the best hosting company I've ever had the pleasure of working with. Not only are they quick with assistance 24/7, but they all know what they're doing.

This really shows poorly on the guys at Github. It sounds like EY went out of their way to accommodate the growth rate (I have yet to hear the Github guys dispute that) and just because EY was asking to be paid for all the hard work, Github was unwilling to, for once, be paid...Github ditched them.

If the expectation was to be paid, then EY would have offered a contract with a future non-free date. Nobody expected this eventuality, or if they did both sides were OK with reaping the benefits in the short term.
