    It is called marketing. They are expecting the customers to stay more than a year, thus they will eventually make more money in the long run.

    Peace,

    yea. You pay $10 for first year but after that you continue to stay with them and you end up paying $10 a month. same with all hosting company.

    I have the same deal. I am very pleased and will continue using them. check my site (in my sig) to sample loading time. I find it as fast as any other.

    Avoid netfirms if you plan to host something serious...
