I'm just venting - press DELETE NOW if you don't care about choosing web
hosting services.

Since the best consumer is an educated consumer, I continue my never-ending
lesson on the web provider from hell.  Twice my web hosting company has been
purchased by Interland and twice the service has gone downhill while the
prices have gone up.  I cancelled of course but the terms have changed since
from the previous host providers.  Maybe someone with a better legal mind
can understand the text they sent to me.  The way I read it is if you want
any of the prepaid amount returned, you agree not to bitch about them.
Needless to say, I will sign no such agreement.  The moral of the story,
check out any cancellation terms before paying prepaying any web hosting
services.

Interland creates a vacuum.
