Beware of Verizon Superpages. Their salesman promised me a free trial website. This turned out to be a $1200 a year contract. Addtionally, they locked my domain for two years and I had to pay a $50 release fee after that. For your website, go with standard hosting. Verizon is dishonest and a bully. posted by: Clint | January 25, 2008 02:32PM
