Sometimes you can't buy things with your cards

Posted by hieuvahuy
Like others, I have been considering setting up a Web site with my own domain and personal content. This site will help me store and share all personal information such as favorite songs, links, documents, blogs as well as photos, but should not cost me too much. Today, I nearly did it.

I already bought my favorite domain name, and all I need now is somewhere in cyberspace to point the domain to and store the site's information. Since it will be only me and few other friends who will have access to the site, I decided that I don't want too much space and bandwidth as many well-known hosting companies offer.

I went on Googling for "cheap hosting". Woah! Here it was, at 2mhost.com which offers a US$2.75 per-month hosting package for 500MB of space and 25GB of monthly bandwidth. It was exactly what I was looking for!

Well, I was eager to click on the five steps required to make the purchase. Filling in information was just a cup of tea, but the last step was a real road bump. I received the message that said: "Unfortunately, we cannot accept orders from Vietnam for new hosting account from 2mHost.com--at this time."

Why? I do have a credit card and I can afford to pay, so shouldn't it be better to offer customers like me in Vietnam a chance?

My eagerness was terminated at that point! I stopped searching for other hosting companies.
