Do not purchase server space from Globat web hosting service!

Globat.com practices what I consider to be unfair business methods. If
you sign up for a year, you will find that at the

end of that year, without so much as a renewal letter, they will bill
you for an additional year. A couple of days

later, they will cut off your service.

If you call them to cancel, they will not communicate that there is
only ONE way to cancel, to use their cancellation

request form. You will think that you are officially cancelled.

Six months later, without so much as sending you a bill, they will
submit you to collections, for the amount of $267.45.

Glob@t's rate is $94.45/year. The email and call from the
collections people become rude and annoying.

What's unfair about a clear, plain-English contract term? Globat's Ts&Cs
clearly state "After the Initial Term, this Agreement shall automatically
renew for successive terms, equal in length to the Initial Term, unless
terminated or canceled by either party as provided herein. During the Term,
and other as specified herein, this agreement cannot be terminated by
customer for any reason.

3.2 - This agreement may be terminated by either party at the
renewal/anniversary date by giving the other party notice at least 15 days
prior to the renewal/anniversary date of the Term (Customers need to use the
Cancellation Request Form at https://order.globat.com/cancel/cancel.cgi), or
by Globat in the event of nonpayment by Customer or by Globat, at any time,
without notice, if in Globat's sole judgment Customer has in any way
breached this Agreement (Termination for Cause)."

They told you what they would do, and they did it.
