Dedicated Inquiry - if I upgrade my CPU do I pay setup fee again?

I notice with the new plans there are a lot of "one time" fees. Explain this to me.

I start out with an Intel Celeron and I dish out the $150 setup fee and pay $70/mo. 6 months progress and now I want to switch to Intel Pentium IV. Do I have to pay a $150 setup fee again? Or can I switch straight to the 90/mo Pentium IV plan?

Also, if I were to pay for a one time 1024 ram, would it be added to the existing 512? If so, would it also transfer to my upgrading to a pentium IV?

Thanks.

I'm assuming not you then just request an upgrade.


By the way IV = 4 & pentium = P
you can say P4

Is there any answer for this thread?

I'd like to know it too, because I'm thinking to sign a dedicated soon!

Sorry about the delay

1. If you pay a one time fee for any server and then later on upgrade, the only added cost is the difference in price of the server itself based on the setup fee you paid structure. The setup fee will NOT need to be paid again, no

2. When you pay for one time fee ram, that can be transferred to any server upgrade or down grade at no cost!!


dndog , tigerlily:

If you buy a server today we will waive the $99 setup fee and give you that price

offer is good only til end of business day today 12-15-04

- E

Let me see if I understood well... (lol, you know I have some problem with english language)

If I sign a dedicated today can I pay $95.00 Monthly for a Intel Celeron 1.8 Ghz (per example) and get a free setup?

This is a very good offer...

Well I'd like to get some answers before... if I sign a dedicated server, softwares like linux and cpanel will be upgraded constantly?
The server address will be myserver.dizinc.com or myserver.mydomain.com?

And finally, I paid my reseller account 6 days ago, can I get some refund?

Thanks!

That's fine.

Three last questions before I sign it:
if I get a dedicated with a single drive, how many backups will I have per week? I'm thinking could be better to me a single drive but with more ram.

I have another account on mac server. It's a free account (promotion buy 1 get 1 free). Can I keep this free account? Or should I move all my accounts to my new server?

And... how can I get this free setup?
