Chat with a Sales Rep to Recieve 20% Off - FAIL

I was looking for a web hoster ans when I attempted to check their payment plane, I was attacked with a pop-up asking me to login or to register, so I just packed out. Then I was again hit with "are you sure you want to leave? and then was given the opportunity to chat with a "sales assistant" and recieve 20% off any year payment plan. Here's the chat log:

Amber Says:Sorry, what was your question again?

You:You're an idiot

Amber Says:OK, I'm going now. If you change your mind CLICK HERE


To say the least I was just straight-out annoyed. I rank customer service pretty high in business, this wasn't a good choice in my opinion. I am not wasting my time trying to fight thier website. iX Web Hosting - not recommended.

The Kingdom


I have finished (the beginning) of my new photo website which can be found here (the photos correlate with my website. To see the other photos go here). It is password protected, so if you would like the password , e-mail me or it will be in my next newsletter, which will be out in about 1&1/2 weeks. (If you aren't on the e-mailing list, let me know & I'll add you to it)

I am crazy excited about this website. It is hosted by Zenfolio, I pay $35.00/year (normally $40, but I had a referral code) for unlimited hosting. If you use my referral number: MKK-EJZ-GXP , you get $5 off your subscription & I also receive $5. Let me know what you think of the site!
