Do you offer dialup Internet access?
No, you will need local Internet access in order to maintain your web site and retrieve e-mail addressed to your site. Providing a specialized service means that we do not have hundreds of modems to maintain, enabling us to devote more time to our customers and to the addition of enhancements to the entire site. Our servers are connected to the Internet via multiple OC3 lines to ensure a high level of performance.

You are issued a pro-rated refund for unused time under the old account type, and billed for a new period at the new rate. There is no fee for upgrading or downgrading.
