I've been doing webhosting for over a year now, clients prefer the pretty skins. Personally I could care less about a skin (I use X and RVSkin but it doesn't really matter). For $3 you are getting a bargain. Clients when they buy hosting they want to know what you have to offer, for $3 (out of your pocket) you are giving them more added value for their money. If I only had to pay $3 (I'd pay more) for anything especially lifetime I'd jump on it if I thought it would bring me even the chance for one more customer. Hosting is very competitive and everyone wants value for their money. RVSkin is very eye appealing and user friendly.
