Why do I allow myself to get trapped into those “30-day
refund guarantee” gimmicks? I did it again, and I should know better!
There I was, trying to get information about web hosts
from the actual web host sites and they want me to sign up first, before
letting me into the site to see what they have to offer. And because I don’t
know enough about what I’m doing, I got sucked in. There ought to be a “back-out
button” for at least the first 30 minutes!
Then, of course, because I immediately saw the error
of my ways, I tried to follow the screen commands to cancel my order, but to do
that you have to call in and—you guessed it!—they aren’t open in the evening. I
did call the next day and canceled my order. The customer service representative
was cordial and professional and it only took a few minutes. But really. Someday,
that may be the site I want to use, but not today.
Research, apparently, for web hosts must be done by
searching what others have found and not from the source. It’s really too bad
because I’ve always believed it’s better to go to the source. Like, when people
say they know what members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
believe when they haven’t actually talked to a member. They’ve learned everything
they know about the Church based on reading or listening to what others say,
usually people who don’t like the Church.
And that’s why I stayed with my first choice of
Wix.com to build my site and buy my domain. It may be more expensive in the
beginning, but I’ve used it before and I like it. The site is easy to navigate
and offers me the opportunity to play with the web site design before I buy
anything. For me, they got it right.
