If its a VPS or Shared Host the setup fee could be to cover adding your domain to their apache vhost config. Not a hard thing to do but still takes a few minutes to do. Im guessing that may be the setup fee, but who knows.

You can probably get that waived just about anywhere these days, especially if you stress the fact that you're a long term client. They might be trying to recoup labor costs from swapping out drives/RAM if they use a contractor to do it.

My one never charged me any start up fee, I used a promo code got 10% off for paying a year in advance, it is not much, $28 a month.

It is called business. When I leased my car they advertised it $479 a month for 39 months, then in the mall print it said "$2300 down at signing" or some fancy words like this.

Good luck getting me to pay to get a server from a place that wants me to pay in addition to pay them every month.
