    Add http://www.hawkhost.com/ to the list since you've added people in this topic who attempted to advertise I figure hawkhost should be listed to :)

    Read the fine print.
    Any decent host should have three very important documents available in their website where you (the client) is able to get acquainted with the details of their offer - BEFORE - you buy anything.

    1. Terms and Conditions
    2. Privacy Policy
    3. "About Us" (company description, location, etc.)

    Once you have gone over these documents, or in a basic level, at least you where able to confirm the existence of these in the webpage, you can proceed to the details of the hosting plan you are interested in.

    Last but not least, check on the technical support availability. Does the company you're interested in offer reliable customer support? Ask yourself, will I be able to contact these people once I have decided for them? Do they have a money back guarantee in case something goes wrong?

    By rule of thumb we all know an expensive host should have all these features, however, when you're trying to get the best value for your buck it's a good thing to know what to look for when shopping around.


    Best of Luck to you.

    Luke I liked your offer and space trial. I think your offer is best and also you have good repo and itrader on DP.

    Doesn't want to be more puzzled.

    Sorry to hear about your loss. Just use the big old companies like hostgator and you are safe, then you will not lose your stuff.
