Monthly Or Contract
Mar 3, 2008Is it important to have the option to pay monthly or are you happy with term contracts, as long as the price and service standards are there?

Non Contract Email
Jan 19, 2009I know there are a bazillion email only services out there (constant contact), however, they all require a monthly contract, which I am not interested in, as I only send my newsletters every three months or so (to about 2500 people).

View 4 Replies View RelatedContract Problems With Full Control
Jan 28, 2009I have a situation with Full Control that may be of interest to professionals who are considering doing business with this hosting company. As VP of Operations and the head of technologies for a startup firm I chose Full Control Networks after some research to host several virtual machines for the company's clients. I filled out a contract with them and things proceeded well for some time. They are a bit pricey, but the service and performance were overall good, so I didn't mind paying a little extra out of our budget. The problem came after the company I was working for started to run into cash flow problems, and after having some paychecks delayed I decided to move on. A few months later I started to receive calls from my former company's clients saying that they were unable to contact the company and that they were worried about their sites and data hosted on the virtual machines at Full Control. I called Full Control as a courtesy to the former clients, whom I had maintained good relationships with, however I was informed that I was no longer on the 'authorized contact list' by request of my former employer and could no longer be given information about the accounts. I asked if I could at least be told if the account was current, and they finally told me that it was up to date. I told the former clients that they were probably ok for the moment, but that was the extent that I could be of assistance. About a month and a half later I receive a call from Full Control asking to be paid for past due balances, and was informed that all servers had been taken off-line. I told them that I was no longer associated with the company and as they were aware had been removed from the 'authorized contact list'. Their reply was that I had signed the contract and that if I did not pay it, the bill would go into collections, and I would be on the hook. After trying to contact my former employer to no avail, I re-contacted a couple of the former clients that had first contacted me with concerns. They said that they had recently been on their sites but could no longer access them, and what could we do to correct the situation. I asked them if they would be willing to pay for their share of the past due balance, and they both said they would. I called Full Control back and said that if they want to divide the bill into the separate machine accounts, that I could get them paid for those portions of the bill (about a third of outstanding) that the former clients are willing to pay for, that I may be able to bring the other former clients on-board and then they could persue my former employer for the remainder. They demanded payment in full, or it was going to collection. So...
A. It was a contract with a corporation and I was 'unauthorized' and taken off of the email list for billing by request of the corporate president, until suddenly there was an unpaid balance whereupon I was 're-instated' as a responsible party because my name was on the contract under the company name.
B. I have been trying to help all involved by getting them partially paid for the balance due and in the process provide them with on-going revenue from those customers for probably years to come. In addition I had already started a new account with Full Control via my own company, which would likely grow to a good number of virtual machines and always be paid on time. Currently an unlikely scenario.
C. Not only will they never collect a penny by going to collections, but there is a real possibility that all parties will have to pay legal expenses to hash it out. (I keep counsel on retainer, and the former clients are attorneys themselves.)
I am still hoping for reason to prevail, and will post the outcome when it is settled. Until then, If you are a technology officer for a company, and are not prepared to pay your company's bills after you have left the company; Do Not sign a contract with Full Control.

Offering Hosting As Part Of A Web Design Contract
Dec 24, 2007Are there any web designers/developers who offer hosting to their clients as part of their website creation package. I am toying with the idea of only creating websites for people who host with me. I currently have a colo server, but only use it for personal things. So I have no experience with the needs and demands of clients in regards to hosting. What are some of your experiences with hosting for clients? Is it worth it?

Can You Actually Pay Monthly For Your Hosting
Mar 2, 2008I've only ever been with 2 hosts, so I'm not that experienced with web hosting.
But I notice everybody gives a monthly price, but the 2 host's I've used I have payed the yearly sum.
When I first got my host I was 16 and it was quite a bit of money, I could afford the monthly price, but It was a shock to have it all taken in one go.
Is there anywhere out there that you can choose to actually pay monthly, or is it done yearly to avoid the hasstle of setting up a server for someone who after one month decides not to continue paying?

What Companies Offer Monthly Service
May 18, 2008I just spent three hours digging through a pile of hosting companies trying to pick one, and although lots of them looked nice, were recommended by plenty of people and cost a reasonable amount they required 6months-a year up front. Some of them had a money back guarantee for 30/45/60 days, but what good is that if I have to cough up $60-100+ bucks to decide for a month?
So I'm looking for a list of companies who sell hosting monthly, not just at a monthly fee figured from the bigger time frame you pay for.

Monthly Transfer Limit Overage Fees And I Need A New DS Hosting Company
Sep 14, 2008I have a dedicated server currently hosted over by Aplus.NET
I have a 3000 GB Monthly Transfer limit and we have been going over this limit for the past few months. This has resulted in a large sum of overage fees.
I am looking to go to another hosting company that is just as good as Aplus.NET, if not better... with a better traffic rate. A friend told me about Choopa.com and I wanted to know how good of a company they were. What are some other top reliable hosting companies with premium servers and that specialize in unmetered bandwidth?
Webhost That Charges Monthly And Accept "true" Paypal
Jan 14, 2009Why is this so hard to find? I've been searching for hours. I want a ASP-enabled host that do not charge me yearly, but monthly or quarterly, within acceptable price range. Basic features, really. ASP + MySQL.
The trubbles comes when i try to check out. Godaddy for instance. Trying to finish my order, but they still want my creditcard information (dont use visa, master or amex).
EasyCGI was very close. They accept true paypal-payment, but only on a yearly basis.
Do anyone know why this is so hard for them? And/or do you know any host that fit the requirements?
