When I published my PhD in 2008, Springer was an option. After looking at them, I was so disgusted that I went to considerable effort to find a small publisher that let me keep the online copyright of my thesis and only took the paper-rights for two years. Oh, and Springer and the like do absolutely nothing on the content-side for you. They just print and sell, everything else is on you.
