Change is on the horizon, and Fox Technology Group's FoxHost.net is
restructuring to better serve clients. This includes exciting new
value-added features, a new scalable pricing model, and an updated
service agreement. Visit FoxHost.net

agreement can also be read and completed online at
http://www.foxhost.net/serviceagreement. Many clients have
asked, and the answer is yes—unlimited
bandwidth and disk space are no longer offered as an option on FTG
hosting accounts. We established a reasonable set of parameters
which not only gives most users all the space and traffic they will
need, but also created a reasonable pricing structure for those with
greater-than-average storage and traffic needs. In addition, we
greatly increased our email, anti-spam, virus scanning, and backup
capabilities; made available a number of value-added hosting extras like
premium statistics and Postini anti-spam; and we will always provide the
same great 24x7 support and service you've come to expect.
