There are, yes.  One very large ISP in the UK does this and their
customers hate them.  Host-based vhosts are considered to be 'cheap' and
off less value than IP based ones, by a lot of customers.

I hate the idea of wasting IP space as much as the next guy, but I
wouldn't loose customers over it.


Yours.
