i hate hosts!!

[chenko]

Grrrr

I got a new simple host for 30£ a year... when setting up my email i noticed in my control panel, it said that i had to use the outgoing SMTP server of my ISP, and as I use AOL they dont have a smtp server!! Grrr

Now, they will refund my money, but only 20£ of it as they say 10£ was setup fees... is this really on? or am i entitled to have the full refund... as they didnt say anything about this weird outgoing SMTP

the host is www.i-hosts.co.uk


cheers

also, im now looking for another ASP host, about 50Mb, 1-2Gb transfer month, FTP, and pop3 accounts

My host requires me to use my ISP's SMTP server as well. I'd think that would be pretty common, with SPAM as big a problem as it is.

oh ok then, its the first I have seen of it. cheers anyway.

are you earning commision from them? everytime you try and pass somit off on me im sure you are hehe


well anyways, im finally off AOL, so i can use the email, i stayed with my current host and i aint had one problem

[plenderj]

Well not comission persay, but you see we buy products from one of Microsoft's distributors in the country (only about 2 or 3), and then mark up the prices and sell them on
