UKNM: cheque .v. credit card.

[kwhittaker]

Hi all,

       things seem to be a bit quiet and it`s a while since I had a rant, so

here goes.

Yesterdays Sunday Times , Business section, ads for Internet services.

Names123 are offering .com domains for a" limited time only " for �9.00.

Hmmm, seems like a good deal. So off to www.names123.com   type in some

crap, fgfgfh.com, and "go" and yes it`s available.I choose the pay by cheque

option. What`s this ? �69.00, maybe it`s a missprint. I fire off a letter to

names123 and recieve a quick reply. It seems that the offer only applies to

credit card orders, although this is not pointed out anywhere. So I go back

to try the cc method. Basically I have to pay first then register.Nowhere

but nowhere can I find out if there will be additional hosting ,parking,dns,

or transfer charges. I know there will be but by then it will be too late.

I have my own domain service ( sorry about the blatant plug but it is to

make a point )www.atomictuna.co.uk. I am not saying we are the best/cheapest

etc, but we do tell you how much and for what, on the homepage, maybe I am

just being niave. I keep hearing about Trading and Advertising standards,

when is somebody going to stop this blantant misrepresentation and

exploitation of net users.


     Regards Keith Whittaker.
