Indeed. I would be very skeptical about purchasing from this company, 2 years up front?! Woah. I bet they have a 'no refunds' policy

The fact that my dialup service tanked has nothing to do with the "2 years up front" deal. I got screwed by the phone company in the middle of trying to sell off the dialup division, and I am concentrating on hosting now.
In fact, my "buy a year, get a year free" offer was well received in the past, so that's why I'm offering it here. It's a great deal, but no one says you can't simply pay by the month. If you will notice, there are monthly prices listed above as well. And we DO have a refund policy.
Criticism is not a very warm welcome for someone who is new to this forum. If anyone is looking for a dedicated or shared host with a small clientele list, that can provide personal, attentive service, then please sign up for my service. Thank you.

Unless it's a well recognized company (or even better confirmed by SEC  ), don't ever sign up and pay a year or two up front. I've been in a situation where there was a refund policy, but the company was just vanished.
My 2 cents.

If you are not comfortable paying for that long, that's perfectly understandable. Here is another offer if that is the case:
Purchase 3 months and get the 4th month free. There is no contract involved.
Of course, you could still just pay monthly.
Thanks and good night,

Looking for a dedicated server is a very scary prospect indeed.
Is it common to have "Office hours vary, but in general we are in the office from approximately Noon until mid-evening, Monday through Thursday, US Central Time. We are actually available a lot more hours than this, but those are the most dependable times to call." ?
I'm beginning to think that to get a dedicated server at all, one had best be Sys admin!

i never buy anything from sites that have crappy layouts. just means that they didn't spend the time to make a nice site. so why would they spend the time to have happy customers? just my thoughts.

I agree it is an unusual offer and I myself would not purchase full years of servers for the only reason that after less then a year the hardware is outdated.
@interactive: Your argumentation is very low and you should think about it. You can be sure that SCAMS have always a top notch layout to mislead. A layout says noting. Check www.handsubmit.com ... isn't it the crappiest you ever saw? Still it is the BEST and most HONEST search engine submission service on the net. SO you see layout sdon't say nothing.
Saying "looks like a scam" is nothing more then libel/bashing. No comment. Proof or take it back.
I have nothing to do with the company only my 10 EuroCents.
