Looking for a vent host in BC, Canada.

penorman · 11-16-2007, 10:51 PM

After NRGservers went under, I'm looking into a new vent host. After my experiences trying to track them down to serve them, I've developed a unique set of requirements for a new host.

1. Must have a presence within BC or assets.
2. Must not have a choice of venue clause that applies to someone in my jurisdiction to take any actions out of BC.
3. Must not have a self-modifying TOS. I don't want to enter into a legally questionable contract.
4. Must accept payments from a method other then paypal. (Cheque, Money Order, CC all work)
5. In case of a service cancellation caused by a license revocation, you are responsible for any refunds and any filing/etc fees incurred to get the refund.

Basically, I want to make sure that if the host goes under, I can serve them and get a payment through the small claims court process.

Wow, only a small list of demands.

If you're paying with a credit card you have the ability to do a charge back if you get screwed.

Though i looked at the list, i don't think any of those company has offices in Canada.

Good luck!

3-5 should be easy. 1 and 2 really just boil down to being Canadian.
Unfortunately, there's no listing of hosts by country, just by data center location.
