Limux to Windows?

[Homer]

I signed up for a Linux account a week or so ago. I come from a Windows background but had a need for a new Linux host account. My need for the Linux hosting has since vanished. I must say that JH's Linux hosting with H-Sphere is a thousand times better than the other hosts I tried that were using CPanel. :tongue:

On to my question... Can I switch: 1) from Linux to Windows hosting, 2) sign up for the Windows Gold plan, 3) pay for 1 year in advance. And, it looks like there is a buy 1-month get 1-month free special going on until tomorrow, so does this mean I would get 24 months of hosting on the Gold Plan for the price of 12?

And if I can do this what is the best way to go about it? Should I just close my Linux account and ask for a refund, then open a new Windows account?

1) No

2) Yes

3) pay for 1 year in advance = yes
3.1)

And, it looks like there is a buy 1-month get 1-month free special going on until tomorrow

Yes
3.2)

so does this mean I would get 24 months of hosting on the Gold Plan for the price of 12?

c'mmon man ...I believe in wishful thinking...but that's really pushing now, uh?
I crossed my fingers, my toes, my eyes, my arms and legs...and it didnt work ?(

Should I just close my Linux account and ask for a refund, then open a new Windows account?

Close the account: yes
Refund: I dont think so. You paid in advance to have the right of use...and you do. If you decide to not exercise this right...it's up to you.

Re: Linux to Windows?

I got a prompt and friendly reply from sales. I can close my Linux account, get a refund either sent to me or applied to my new Windows account. But I will have to close Linux and open a new Windows account. That's no problem.

As for the 1-month special, its just that... buy anything and they throw in 1 month free. Buy 12 months and get a 13th month free. I thought it was more like buy-one-get-one-free, so I wanted to buy 12 and get 12 free. Can't blame me for trying.

I'd be fine with the Value plan but I need a few more domains. I don't know why they charge so much for domains ($2/month) since it really isn't much of a resource drain on the systems. Not like disk space or SQL server licenses. Why can't I have as many domains that will fit on my 400mb of disk space and 10gb of transfer space? This isn't just a JH thing though, this is a standard practice in the market. Why arn't they more like 50 cents a month or free? ?(
