Has anyone else gotten a phone call from Aplus hosting?
I registered a domain maybe 3 days ago, and I just got a phone call from someone from "Aplus hosting" wondering if I needed any design work done. Never heard of them.
Has anyone else received a call like this? This is almost worse than telemarketers -- it came on my on cell during work hours. At least you expect the calls around dinner time.

If you're wondering what's the history of a host, a search can often be of help http://www.webhostingtalk.com/search.php?s= . In this case, suffice it to say that I'm not exactly surprised to read your report.

Actually -
Just received a call from them last two days - quite annoying as it was at 2am, not sure what the heck they were thinking but I was about to k.. .. be nice to them.
At least whomever it was sounded good and had a nice british accent!

I did not get either, but heard lots of stories regarding that.
Imagination is more important than knowledge.

I have never gotten anything from Aplus Hosting but I have gotten tons of junk mail and phone calls from other companies.

I've gotten three so far....Two of them I let go to voicemail and the other one I told the girl that I needed to speak to her manager because I could offer Aplus a hosting account for less than what they were paying with better customer support....
She didn't think that was too funny.It's time to kick back, pop in a From Autumn to Ashes CD, and relax.....

Never got a call from them because I never gave my number out to them (When I was looking around for dedicated servers on their site), but I would get annoyed as hell if they called me 2AM in the morning... :-/

Thanks for that one, least it gives me a good idea on what to do to those annoying ***** when they bother to call if they do. (haven't had one yet myself but who knows right?)

I've never received a call from them but have heard of many other people receiving calls from them.
Lol... I work as a telemarketer.

They seem to be quite persistant. I haven't gotten a call from them myself, but if they ever do call me, i'd do something like what some others have said. Probably just ignore it, but that would be really annoying.
While i don't like abusing telemarketers (i work as a cashier right now, so i do sympathize with them) the companies that employ them should be dealt with.

Perhaps I've gotten more calls than most because of the number of new domains I tend to register.It's time to kick back, pop in a From Autumn to Ashes CD, and relax.....
