Pricing was galactically different between initial and renewal, service was 'interesting' and they got to playing little games - - - - - so I am not looking for cheap but I do want a company where the servers are in Canada (Canadian legislation is enough of a dog's breakfast never mind dealing with another area's as well) and where they actually listen to questions instead of sending you to a knowledge base that is mostly some 5 years out of date! (I was being told that php 5.4 (I think that was the version - - - - - it wasn't even the last of the 5.x series) was plenty useful when php itself had deprecated anything before 7.0 some 2 years before. I'm not into the latest and greatest as I want rock solid working but it would be like insisting on running Win NT 3.5 and calling it current!) I don't expect to get a free lunch for signing up but I don't want to see that as a returning customer that I'm paying 4 or 5 times more than I did starting out - - - - that's not good long term thinking to me and tells me a lot about the company. Wasn't what they said when I asked about that before signup but having been burned well once - - - - I'm just a bit gun shy. Regards
