thanks Rick

Oic, thanks rob! =) What about ownership of the domain if itz registered under proxy?

Hmm...do you guys recommend registering for a private domain name? do most people have private or public domain names? Is spamming a really big issue for public domains? From what I understand, a private domain name is registered under DomainsByProxy? So do we still own our domain name and can still "take it w/us" if we ever decide to switch hosts for whatever reason? Thanks!

Thanks Rob =)

oops, sorry, my bad. I shoulda read the other posts before i posted this one. I guess the answer is yes.

Hi everyone, I have another question. It says on the TCH site that: _______________________________________________________________________ When you register your domain name with TotalChoice Hosting we promise that you will have full ownership of the domain. After all, it is your domain name! _______________________________________________________________________ I just wanted to confirm that if we register for a domain name w/TCH, it's regarded as independent from our webhosting account? In other words if we decide to change hosts for watever reason, will we be able to take the domain name w/us? Thanks!

Thanks guys! Wow, everyone seems so nice and personable here! A friend refered me to TCH a few days ago and I've been browsing the TCH site and the forums for a coupla days. Everything & everyone seems to be great! I can't wait to start my own website. I just have no clue whatsoever on how to build one or even HTML and how everything works. I just bought a book (and the forums are helpful too)...hopefully I'll be able to start soon! Lookin' forward to joining! =)

Okey Dokey, I will ask billing for specifics. Thanks for all your replies.

Thanks, Bruce, for your fast response! =) One more question: Do u know if we sign up for the year plan, and then up/downgrade the plan a few months into the year, are we only billed for the remaining of the year and not extended for another 12 months from the up/downgrade? Thanks again.

Hi everyone, I have a few questions concerning upgrading/downgrading a webhosting account. 1. How easy is it to upgrade/downgrade a plan? On the Billing Issues FAQ (http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/help/billingpage.htm), it only talks about upgrading plans. Does everything apply to downgrading plans as well? 2. How long does it take for the upgrading/downgrading to take effect? It says on the FAQ that you no longer do proratings and therefore it is advised that we do it at the end of the billing cycle. If we upgrade/downgrade in the middle of the billing cycle, does the change take effect immediately, even tho we would still be billed for the existing plan the remaining of the cycle, or does the change of plans only take place at the start of the next billing cycle? 3. On the FAQ, it says: ______________________________________________________________________ The "Head Guru" special does not apply to existing customers. The free month is only an option to new clients or new domains. Cancelling your plan and signing up again also will not entitle you to a free month. ______________________________________________________________________ If we sign up for a monthly account, but one month later, we upgrade to a yearly account, are we still considered a new client? or do we have to sign up for a yearly account right from the beginning to get the free month? Thanks! =)
