  It looks really good - but I decided the terms and conditions were unacceptable for a company selling a service - you pay your money and in return they promise:

  "Layered Networks makes no warranties of any kind, expressed or implied for services we provide. Layered Networks disclaims any warranty or merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. This includes loss of data resulting from delays, non-deliveries, wrong delivery, and any and all service interruptions caused by Layered Networks and its employees. Layered Networks does not make any guarantee on uptime."

  The last bit is really interesting because there is a big "99.9% Uptime Guarantee" claim in the product pages

  "Layered Networks reserves the right at its sole discretion to refuse or cancel service. Violation of any of Layered Networks Rules and Regulations could result in a warning, suspension, or possible account termination. Accounts terminated due to policy violations will not be refunded."

  With their claim to be able to vary the rules and regulations at any time, means that if they decided to be evil they could adjust the rules and all money paid to them would be forfeit (all your bases…)

  No Thanks…

  Thanks for pointing that out, we now offer a 99.9% uptime guarantee and forgot to remove some old parts referring to uptime. All fixed now. I'm sure if you look at any web hosting terms it will be very similar though. If the price was $200-300 a month I would be happy to provide other guarantees on the service and your data. Plus if we refuse or cancel a service its normally because of the customer abusing the server or having illegal content. $3 a month, what do you expect?

    That's cool - and sorry if I came across as harsh - I have the same response to most software disclaimers - take your money and no undertaking of (any) actual value. I didn't mark the offer as a negative - indeed I think its incredible that you can offer hosting at that price - its just your conditions (well perhaps the lawyers behind them) force you to say everything you offer may be without value. Its the safe option for you and them - but sucks to be a customer faced with "what did I buy?" after reading the terms.

    Oh and I completely support the idea that you can terminate the account for violation of contract - except the terms said you can vary the contract any time you wish, for any reason. The only safe way to have that sort of condition (for you and the customer) is a pro-rata refund structure - thus if you decide you no longer can/wish to provide service, the client isn't out of pocket for your decision.

    It comes down to trust - I expect you are building a business and have great ideas for all the good things your and your clients can do together. Unfortunately there are the bad apples (both customers and suppliers) and the lawyers are paid to think of the bad things - not about what the company really stands for. Someone (in the company) needs to control the lawyers and get them to write what you mean - not what they think they can get away with!
    Please!
    Thank you
    Jen
    (and yes I have had a business abuse the trust - because the words in the terms & conditions said they could - won't happen again)

  Does this mean once the "limited time" offer is over, it reverts back to metered quotas?

  Oh, and does anyone know what versions of ruby on rails they have installed?

    Does this mean once the “limited time” offer is over, it reverts back to metered quotas?

    No idea. But even their lowest plan offers 4GB storage + 80GB/month data.

    Oh, and does anyone know what versions of ruby on rails they have installed?

    No idea either. But a typical CentOS 5 install means old version of Ruby. Typical cPanel setup means RoR via FastCGI, i.e. slooow. I wouldn't use it for RoR app deployment…

  ***This limited time offer will stay unmetered. Yes we support Ruby on Rails and most of our servers should have the latest versions though.

  You are not allowed to use these accounts for mass storage of files

  Boh. There goes the offsite backup idea.
