I could just as well stay with TotalChoice as they have been AMAZING to me over the years with as many as 15 sites at one time on one reseller account. I did notice that Avocado had not mentioned anything about when they were founded, how they were financed, etc. Those are all points of concern. I did not notice the "submit form" thing. That is crap and keeps me from pursuing them any further. Oh well, I shall keep looking. Thanks for doing MY homework Chris. hahahahaha ASO doesn’t save me any money.

No refund shall be issued. GOOD AVOCADO must receive all completed and correct termination requests by midnight on the end of the previous month in order to avoid paying for the next month's service and account to be cancelled must be paid in full at the time of cancellation. Love the "submit the form first" thing as well as the "no refund if we suck" thing...smacks of shadiness for me. Oh yea, and there is this:

I think its great that they are doing this, and its smart marketing to boot. However, I still will go with asmallorange over an avacado, due to their proven track record and amazing customer service. Avacado doesn't sell me on their server farm, how they power renewably, or how long they have been in business (nothing mentioned on all fronts!). Depends if they make great quac! haha.

From a business sense, sure make money, take advantage of the current green situation. I guess if they boast their product like they do, then they better deliver. I can't stand a mediocre product promising everything, but not delivering. I also get frustrated when people are all about "going green" but when someone makes an effort to bring attention to the cause, they get criticized. (I'm not picking here, you just asked my opinion) I'm new at this going green stuff, but I'm convinced that it is our responsibility to take care of this planet and not knowingly or willfully harm it. thanks for making me think, buddy!
