Not the cheapest available - nor the most expensive either.  The 
facilities provided with their 'Developer' account are particularly good 
and the support is friendly, personal and always helpful.  Highly 
recommended by me (and several of my customers).

I second all of that.  A <g> developer account gives one control of just 
about everything one could wish for.  More than I know how to properly 
tinker with, certainly!  The full control of zone files is very useful, 
and for me the mailman mailing-lists are a godsend.  Want to run a 
web-forum (spit) or picture gallery?  No problem, and all well explained 
in their knowledge-base.  Want to give a friend or client FTP access to 
just the bit of 'their' space they can be trusted with?  Instantly 
achieved.  Want a small ecommerce site?  Just set it up.

Both email and telephone support is great, with clueful folk who expect 
you to have half a clue (and are forgiving if you haven't), and there is 
of course newsgroup support, though not propagated.  That last point is 
about the only slight 'minus' I can bring to bear!

If I don't like it, can I cancel it at any time? What sort of refund I can 
expect?

Thanks

They won't like you, as you persist in top-posting.  Forget it.

It's a shame that the link to "Developer account" goes to the "Company
Lite" page. Does anyone have a link to the Develope page please.

I thought not until I looked at it. If it isn't the same it does a very 
good impression of being identical. Same price, same facilities.

It's a 3 month minimum committment if you pay via card or direct debit, 
and then a rolling monthly committment. You can cancel at any time, but 
we don't refund part used months.

If you pay annually and cancel part way through then, within reason, 
we'll refund you.
