    ok so i decided to get the promo by "TEMPLATEMONSTER" for JustHost!

    I know justhost is ******...but the coupon gives me 12/months Free 0.00 cost!!! all i needed was my CC. perfect!

    so i decided to go with it and enter all the stuff...than they charged .50 cents!!!!!! what is this?? is this to confirm that my CC is legit?? also should i be worried about this?? I also made sure I didnt get any special deals!

    also i wanted to make sure this stupid host didnt auto-charge my CC. But couldnt find the option so plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz tell me the secrets of this BIG marketing hosting company!! I dont want to give money to such ****** host

    also in the end im gonna cancel my account but i just want to experience the FREE hosting for 12 months lol

    but please am i falling into a trap??

    They most likely just authorized $0.50 and but have not actually charged you $.50.

    Gas stations do this exact same thing, When you swipe your card at the pump, you are usually Authorized $50 against you account, When your done pumping they only charge you the amount you actually purchased.

    This is why sometimes when you pay for gas, your card declined even though you have some money in your account.

    They take that 0.50 just to confirm cc !

    And may be they return it after confirming !
    As I have also used it but they have not deducted anything from it !
