Vbulletin?????

I would guess it is because VPS needs a separate copy for each VPS, where the 5 star is on a shared server and all can use the same code?

Not quite. It is because vBulletin is a very expensive license and we don't get any discounts on it. We pay full pop for it.

Just because the VPS might cost more to you as a client of the service, than say, a shared hosting plan, that does not mean that we are making more money on it. The less we make, the less we have to spend on goodies like a vBulletin license.

VPS are very expensive little items after you consider the cPanel license, the Virtouzzo license, special support licenses, etc etc etc.

It might be possible on the VPS heavy package, I'd have to crunch the numbers but no chance on the Lite package.
