For most first-time site owners, and even many long-time site owners, selecting a hosting company simply consists of checking around for the biggest promises combined with the lowest prices. That seems reasonable. That is what, afterall, value is: the most for the least. The problem is that most shared hosting companies are now promising the same things, but not providing the same services. How is this possible? The answer comes in how each company defines its terms, particularly as it relates to “unlimited” anything. For the nitty-gritty of what each hosting company is really offering, you have to venture away from the marketing pages and into the shadowy world of the “Terms of Service” (TOS).

In fact, their graduated scalability is astonishing. First let me say we are making a lot changes in 2009 – we have expanded our management team by 50%, and continue to staff the company in all other positions to ensure we can continue to be a leader in Web Hosting, Domains and Website Related Services. Hmmm. Well, I’m trying to get ready to go on vacation on Friday (just a stay at home and away from the computer sort of holiday), and so I have a million things to do. I had hoped to have some more stuff up on here and some pages more completely finished, but that doesn’t [...] I wasn’t happy with the old site design, so I’m going with the Atahualpa for now. Will make changes soon to make the site easier to navigate. Determined to get to the bottom of the controversy surrounding what you actually get with the netfirms grid hosting (see my netfirms review), I composed a small list of questions and logged into their live chat.
