How would you propose handling an ASP like service that is branded (both
host whatever.companya.com ... othersuch.company99999.com, and templates)
for 10000 companies? 10000 instances of your app on different servers + all
of the cache and proxy services?  Or would you have companya.com redirect
to service.aspprovider.com and lose the ability (and pretty important
branding sometimes) to masquerade the service as if it were run by
companya?

I am just saying,  it is a completely valid and useful ability.
