I chose to ignore all the warnings I read on this board about godaddy and they screwed me out of a parked domain I had (Tijuana-Escorts) I had closed the sight and the escort service down (it takes bigger balls than I have to run an escort service) parked it was making me $50 a month at Sedo, so now you've been warned about godaddy.
I use verotel on one of my sites and their billing system is a friggin mystery to me every time I screw with it I break it and have to ask Sparky to fix it for me..
My suggestion to you would be get hosting at Colo-Cation and ask Sparky to straighten it all out for you.

Thanks for the warnings, I have seen a few about godaddy and experienced some annoyances with them, but I've been able to straighten it out in general, albeit after costly long distance calls talking to reps who make rude innuendos about the type of site I run.

I need a cheap host because I don't have a huge member base yet, but I run a video members site that uploads at least, 500mb of content per week. I retain pretty well but it is tough getting the word out there for an indy site when you do it all yourself including the modelling, photography, video editing, etc. Someone at godaddy just saved my ass by offering me a year of hosting for $53.00 plus 50GB of space, exactly what I needed at that moment, as I was running up very high bills in additional space...so I'm sort of committed. If I start bringing in more revenue, or find a host with cheap storage space, I'll definitely consider it if they start treating me badly or when the year is out.

Verotel is kind of sensitive, and it was a bit difficult to set up for my small brain, I found webstream so much more simple and user friendly. I haven't spoken with Sparky, I got Paul and Marco so far, and they've been pretty helpful.

for some reason I can't edit, only delete. Oops I thought you meant sparky was with Verotel. Your banner looked cute so I'll check them out and compare it for my needs, thanks
