That is correct, unless I am missing something. That configuration is $250 and with the 10% off coupon, that makes it $225.

Thanks,

Wait i thought it previously said $220 ? Oh well.

Anyways another question on the page :

* Intel Core 2 Quad (4 CPUs)
* 6MB - 8MB Shared Cache
* ECC DDRII Memory up to 8GB
* SATA II SAS - RAID Available
* SuperMicro Hardware + IPMI2.0
* 8 IPs on Private VLAN
* 2000GB Public Bandwidth Standard
* Unmetered Private Bandwidth
* cPanel / WHM Server Control Panel
* Starting Loaded at: $179/month


It says starting loaded @ $179 , what exactly is the configuration for the same ? Cause on the order page i see it starting @ $220 instead ? I think i might have asked that before but i always get confused with confused setup/prices specially hidden prices which i do not like. Have a flat rate that actually appears on your order page instead of trying to confuse bunnies !

The "starting at" price is the lowest monthly price the server can be configured at. Make sure to choose an optional setup fee and pay annually to configure the server at the lowest monthly rate.

Exactly thats what i call as "hidden fees" which cause confusion and distrust (atleast i am not confident or have some trust right at the start). Just be clear on the front page, its not going to kill your business. Will only put more confidence in potential customer that u do not have to worry about some other fees later or there is something hidden from their naked eyes.

We are being clear. There is no intent to deceive. Nothing is hidden at all, everything is there for you to see. This is very common not only in the hosting industry, but every other industry as well. The "Starting At" price is always the lowest price possible. Hidden fees are fees which you do not know you have to pay that get given to you after you order something. We have none of those. There are no hidden fees whatsoever. What you see is what you get.

Thanks,

Thanks,

To be frank you are not clear at all on the main dedicated page or other pages.

"starting Price" in no language means "Customizable Minimum Server Price" . starting price = starting price means thats the base configuration price at which you will be directed to when you go hit order (its like having a 100 year contract limitation for that price, just like hostgator, if you think what hostgator/hotnine and other hosts (with yearly contract price shown as the main price) does is right, than i suppose i cannot explain what i am trying to say.)

But anyways just was my feedback thought i let u know of what i thought, cause if you just assume someone already mentioned that previous to you for something u feel is not right the problem never goes away right ?

Hopefully i will this time remember that i already had a discussion about it previously, i think i did so before too and no change, so its your call and operations methods i suppose.

Cheers
EOD (end of discussion )
