What if after one year I decide to prepay 6 months again, do I still get 6 month free?

We previously catered to small local businesses (for 18 months or so). We only recently expanded into the global market, roughly a month ago.

The domain was supposed to be registered a good few months ago during the planning stage, for some reason - this was overlooked.

For all intents and purposes, this is a new company - and we understand if this puts anyone off. Although, this hasn't seemed to be the case so far. :)

Wow! Nice. Hey Dawson, I didn't know that.

If anyone is contemplating going with fumiNet, I am a customer now for, oh, a little over a week. I realize that doesn't give much material for a review, but here goes anyhow...

In addition to the great deals that they have posted, fumiNet has phenomenal customer relations, excellent support, and they're nice. My budget server in PA rocks, with good response time and no glitches so far. And when they say fully managed, they mean it. They have been more than attentive to my needs.

It's tough going with a new company, and I had a tough time deciding, especially since I was very happy with my previous host. Due to the fact that I wanted to move from the West Coast to the East Coast anyhow, fumiNet's specials grabbed my attention and I couldn't say no.

Contrary to my usual cautious behavior, after chatting with Dawson (for much too long of a time than he should have realistically budgeted for a small-time customer), I signed up for a budget dual Xeon on the 6 for 6 plan. My family was shocked at my impulse shopping, and right after signing up I was a bit nervous myself.

All doubts were dispelled however, when after less than a day passed and I got my server. They transferred everything over from my old server as part of the service. And that was that - no muss, no fuss. I think the whole server config/setup process took just a few hours. After the DNS propagated, I was cookin' with gas.

I've said it before - and I'll say it again. Those few million emails will haunt me forever. :)

I finally got my server ready in two days. But fumi forgot to send me root password. Anyway they've quickly responded my e-mail, only it went to the spam box. Still checking the server now...

We just changed the template for dedicated servers, and for some reason - the root password field was overlooked. :D

We apologize for this, and it has now been fixed.

2 days is our average setup time. :)

Well, after checking the server so far I'm very happy with it. Thanks fumi.

Good to hear that you're happy, you know where we are if you need us :).

Just a quick note, live chat is offline whilst we upgrade our support infrastructure. This should only take an hour or so.

about 16 hours ago they said

" ok your server is setup , and ready we have requested your login details from our provider it takes 1 hour"

so after 3 hour when contacted

fumiNET Solutions."

and it is 16 hour (after they said 1 hour remain), and waiting that there provider wake up and give me my login details

Hello,

After stating you would receive an update, I received a message from my colleague stating that we WOULD need you to complete identity verification due to the potential for suspicious activity on your account.

We will not discuss this issue here, and you can check the helpdesk for updates in regards to it.

Regards.

You only passed our fraud verification process VERY recently, due to the nature of your ID (mis-matching at one point). Once you have been verified, setup can take up to 72 hours. If this is not acceptable, then we will happily refund you - as previously stated.

Any further issues can be dealt with via the helpdesk, but the staff have been told not to answer your tickets when you spam the same thing four times in a row.

This matter will not be dealt with any further on WHT.
