I am thinking about going with **********.com. Their price is just way cheap and they offer almost everything. The one down side is the do not provide phone support. I am just wondering if someone has used them and what your advice might be.

They probably did somethign pretty bad to be a banned word here. Spell it out l i k e t h i s so we can see what it is.

What could they have done to be banned. It would be good to know rather than censor them. I just want to know if I should or should not get their service. That's all.

If it's censored, you probably shouldn't. Generaly means bad bad bad things.

I wouldn't recommend them, honestly. It's not because their name is banned by this community, not a big deal for me, although you might put that into consideration.

All packages are bounced by yearly contract. I don't like paying someone a year up front when I don't even know who they are. You never know what would happen the next couple of months.

I took a look on every page, as well as the signup page at paysystems. I couldn't even find anything which has the service agreement information.

It seems like they are not really incorporated. (I kinda remember UK doesn't use Inc. I might be wrong.)

After all, it's your decision. They don't have any money back guarantee published on the page. Good luck. :)

No. We dont. We use:

ltd (Private Limited Company)
plc (Public Limited Company)
llc (Limited Liability Corporation)

The owner could be imprisoned for stating theyr'e a INC when theyr'e not.

They could only be an INC if they were in america (Or somebody was who worked there.)

However, you need to consider if you should do business with one that can't, or won't, follow simple forum rules. Banning is a last option here. If they get themselves banned, to me, it speaks of their business practices.

I wouldnt sign up for a yearly offer, and we even offer them, but I recommend it to my customers to sign up for just a few months or even just one month to test things out. You never know when one of these yearly hosts may just pull the plug and take the money and run.

As for this Host, I would agree that paying a year in advance for hosting is not the greatest idea, especially since you don't know a thing about them...
