pricing

Eventually I'm going to run out of web space. If I need to upgrade my account will I be paying the current rate for space at Amishhosting? I know I'm grandfathered in for my current account but what about people that need more space or new accounts?

The term "grandfather clause" generally means an exemption that allows persons or entities to continue with an activity they were engaging in before it became illegal through a change in regulation.
These days, it's pretty innocuous. There is a law in Ohio that says you can't sell raw milk, but it has a grandfather clause that says anyone selling raw milk doesn't have to quit. I was buying raw milk from Young's Dairy in Yellow Springs, one of two licensed raw milk dairies in Ohio, in the early 1990s. Since that time, the state has strong-armed Young's and the other dairy into quitting.
You'll also find grandfather clauses on zoning ordinances. You can continue a nonconforming use, but you can't begin a nonconforming use.
According to a story in Reader's Digest I read back in the 1960s, there was a state health inspector that stopped at a gas station somewhere in the south - I can't remember where. When he visited the john, he found that there was a continuous-loop cloth towel machine, and it was positively filthy. He gave them a ticket, because those machines had been outlawed ten years earlier, but when they went to court, the judge let the gas station off because the towel hadn't been removed for laundering since the machine was installed 15 years earlier.
Grandfather clauses got a bad reputation because a clause in the constitutions of several southern states before the year 1915, intended to disfranchise African Americans by exempting from stringent voting requirements all lineal descendants of persons who were registered voters before 1867. The Supreme Court struck down those laws about the same time that they decided poll taxes were illegal - sometime in the LBJ administration.
Just another case of grandfathers getting no respect - and on top of that, they're usually married to grandmothers. Boy, what a raw deal! If it wasn't for getting to play with the grandkids, then send them home with their parents, it would hardly be worth being a grandfather....

Hi...since I lost my Amish domain I am wondering if it is possible to get prices and space for moving to Amish. I was not aware at the time going back to paying monthly instead of yearly was my mistake not knowing where or how to renew my domain. Or that it was due or when it was due.
Thanks for the help in my attempt to move my ART and studies of php site. It was a slow process but I was grateful for your help.
Would the space-price be the same at Amish-zbox than ZBOX?
And, what is the difference capabilites in the two? If numerous, please explain.
Thanks for your time in helping me on this.

Hi Lila,
We will no longer be accepting "new" accounts at Amish. Frankly I'm going to kill it entirely except for the existing accounts. However that being said, for folks that do have existing accounts with either DAP or ZboX, you can upgrade to:
# 2400 MB of space
# 100 GB of bandwidth
# 20 Email Accounts
# Up to 3 separate addon domains
# Just $12.50/month or $99/year
The upgrade price will not be retroactive. You will need to pay for a full year or do PayPal for monthly. Sorry, but no quarterly or semi annual payments. However your renewal date will be changed to the date you start the upgrade account. These will be full Cpanel accounts only. Domania, and PDhomes will not be able to upgrade to these accounts in your current environment. Domania and PDhomes users need to be advised that you will not have access to the Domania/PDhomes file manager or members area. However you will have your choice of the ZboX or Amish filemanagers. Which are excellent. These accounts will only be available for use via subdomain (username.domania.org or username.domania.net) or you can purchase a domain if available through our registrar for our standard domain pricing. You can use other domain registrars if you so choose.
All upgrade accounts will be hosted only on Capricorn for now. After we fill the available disk space for Cap, we will fire up a new Capricorn class server. If you have any questions shoot me an email at support@zboxhosting.com
~;-)
