I wonder if you signed up for a hosting package? I can't see anything which quite fits a £42 bill, though.

[David]

I don't even know what a hosting package is Rik,all I recall saying at the time it was so cheap with also the first month free,I think it was silly money something like £6.99 a year or something but would not have signed to spend this amount and I am perplexed just in case it might be a regular DD so I have asked for details.I have not received an acknowledgement which is odd ?

[Rik]

Email, iirc, is 69p/month, certainly something of that order. Maybe you elected to pay for three years in advance?

I guess thats possible and dont mind and I trust the company so not too worried I just need to know but I did pay at the time and cant understand what this money is for

[Simon]

You can check if there's a direct debit if you use online services with your bank, David. 

[David]

I have Simon it appears I did sign for a Hosting !! but didnt realise it ,I hav'nt a clue what this is,all I know its something to do with websites  so I have sent them this buying error and see what happens .

Or I could have a website I guess 

Sorry made myself giggle 

[Simon]

Hosting is, like you say, what you need for a website, enabling other people to see it.  Sounds like you've managed to sign up for the complete package. 

[David]

  So  I had better get designing Simon 

[Simon]

That could be fun!

I've just renewed my account with 1&1 for £6.88 for 2 years, with 4 free email addresses.

[David]

But your names not David Glenn...... I am the Frank Spencer of the web 

[Rik]

Ooh, Betty.

[David]

Note to self.........dont press buttons  actually I could do with a website wonder how much more it would cost ?

[Rik]

Presumably, you've already paid for it, you just need to design it?

[dujas]

As you've paid in advance can't they just issue a refund minus the cost of the first month?

[David]

They have not refused this yet it is clear it was done in error so will look into this later today..if they cant or wont then I will design a basic page for my very modest little business...depending on how much more it will cost....if I am paying for something..I might as well play around with it..

[Rik]

It shouldn't cost any more, David, all the authoring tools are included in the package, iirc.

[David]

I wondered why I had such a lot of tools on my page there are loads

[David]

Just heard from 1&1 I can downgrade the package but I have to do it within 5 days of the Email  I was playing around with the sitebuilder last night as well 


I will downgrade but they did say be careful to click on the correct package as it cannot be changed for 30 days afterwards 

[Rik]

Make sure you put your glasses on then, David.
