Very informative post!

Since you have no website or contact information (that I can find) I cannot ask this privately. This has nothing to do with Surpass, but I am very curious about your sig.

ME - No one can change my mind with another Hosting company. The reason why was that I had a 400 point check list on selecting a host and Surpass, SURPASSed all of them (718 hosting companies I reviewed)
Would you mind making this info public?

How could you possibly have 400 questions for a hosting company?

You applied a 400 point check list to 718 hosting companies? Why would you possibly need to review so many? By the way, that's 287,200 points you surveyed.

How could you find out all this information fast enough to make a decision?

Wouldn't companies have changed prices/plans/equipment or policies by the time you were done reviewing all of them?

Again, this is not about Surpass or even you, but I have to wonder what am I, and others, missing if we don't have all of this information to base our decisions upon.

You can contact me privately if you would prefer.
richard[at]reachtheworld[dot]net. Or, you can go to my main site, there's no end of contact information there. :p

You can if you look harder, but yes only people that work at Surpass can email at this moment.
My website is in the woodwork.

Yes and No
Yes you can but I will not tell you how.
No, I considered this when I wrote my checklist on regular paper not the pc. I do not give out my hardwork. The reason why is that people thought the world was flat and punished the few people that said it wasn't. Things are the same way today but spoken differently.

Quote:

I thought about giving it to SurpassHosting and still considering it. But as of right now, no. I don't have time to type it into the pc. I do not think I have to give it to SurpassHosting either because every TKO (boxing term) I threw hard at them, they kept coming back asking for more!! Last 16 of them were the meanist ones that were just was simply Unpracticable and Surpass stood up to the challenge and that blew my mind

Quote:

I tend to beat the dead horse longer then I should. This is the way I am after learning from many nouns. (person, place and thing)

287K+...WOW, It was not that many. Question 45, the first hurdle was
just cake walk. But question 45 was is _________hosting bias on 3rd party browsers (eg. Mozilla,, Netscape, etc). This meant I had to look on each of their website pages in 3-6 NON-IE browsers. To see if they are bias towards the 3rd party browsers.

Which meant I started getting tough on them at this point. There is NO excuse that I will take when these companies are not aware of the world Outside of Internet Exploited.

#46 is do you know what Firebird along with the "older versions" name of 3rd party browsers are? I do keep track on things like this. Why this shows that they are not on the BANDWAGON!

Quote:
How could you find out all this information fast enough to make a decision?
I have a Huge Bus Speed but afterwards I had to wait 72 hours to put in my order to SurpassHosting.com. I even had to look up Surpass to know that I was not dreaming this and that I had written and circled down Surpass is my First and only Hosting

sur·pass ( P ) Pronunciation Key (sr-ps)
tr.v. sur·passed, sur·pass·ing, sur·pass·es

1. To be beyond the limit, powers, or capacity of; transcend:
2. To be or go beyond, as in degree or quality; exceed.


Quote:

No I did this in 6 days. I could of even if I waited 2 more days for the 2 for 1 plan that Surpass was offering back in late May, gotten that. But, I don't need 2 websites just 1.

But you do. As for me I have a very different approach on how to look at things in life.
