howdy surpass!

1-now, i was gonna go with the Power plan with 1 domain. does this mean i can only run my website and no other's? i was gonna add 1 or 2 more down the road. can i run these as subdomains?

2-also, i see there's no setup fee and it's $6 a month. can i pay monthly?

3-do you have paypal?

4-also, where are you guys located?(missed that looking at your site)

The power plan has 1 addon domain. This is not your main domain. So in reality, you can run two websites on seperate domains on your hosting. If you wish to add another domain, it will cost an additional $15. You can also run as many websites as you want as subdomains, a lot of people do that. Also realize that you need to register your domain(s) in addition to this.

Since it says that it is $6 monthly, it implies that you can pay monthly. So yes, you can pay monthly, whatever method you choose to register with will create a subscription that will automatically pay that monthly cost.

Paypal is accepted, yes. It's one of our two payment options, the other one being 2checkout.

The datacenter is located in Orlando, Florida.

1. I'm not sure what you mean. You can add as many sites as you want, but you can only have 1 domain name without paying extra fees.

E.g. your site - yourdomain.com
friendssite - friend.yourdomain.com
Or you can get yourfriendsdomain.com as an addon domain,which would point to a directory on your hosting, but you only have one on the Power plan.

2- Yes, you can pay by the month!

3- Yes, Paypal or 2checkout

4- Orlando, Florida.

Hope I Cleared it up for you, if not, just ask again, I'm sure we'll get there eventually

ok, thanks for the quick response. so i have 2 domains to start. it will only cost for more after that--right?

and with no setup fee, i can just pay $ 6 a month...

that's cool. and i wanted the paypal option down the road, but for now will use a CC.

i like what i see so far. the Surmunity name actually caught my eye. i thought, now that will scare off the mass'es and leave more for me..

i am a noob in a lot of area's of hosting and was worried about "no telephone" support, so i'm still thinking about that....

You get an IP address that is shared with the other users on the server. Last time I heard it was $25 per year for a dedicated IP address.
