Web sites (I'm talking hosts specifically) that have P.O.A. in the price column.

What's the point?

What does P.O.A. stand for?

you have to email them to get a price for it, it's used mostly when the price is expensive and they don't want to put people off, when the product is a bespoke product so they don't know how much it will cost or they are unsure of the price them selves (they need to check their supplier etc.)

LOL... reminds me of real estate... our local real estate listings it's the same thing. Any property completely overpriced, has no price listed. hehe Sorry bud, but if it's so bad you're afraid to list it, I'm sure as heck not gonna call to ask.

Like where do these people get these :nuts: nutty ideas?

:D Bailey

oh I get it - like the old saying:
