Yes, they were offering free initial registration & hosting, which I
took advantage of.

This is where I am lost, never having done such things.

Whatever that means.

I appreciate the above explanations, although don't really understand
a word of it. All the regular Banks charge for a bank account and
wanted to charge more to Muglo as they consider us a business; most
Hosters do too. I had to argue every year with London Webmasters to
reduce our fees from $308.16 to $109.12.
PC Financial only offer personal accounts, but I got over that by
making opening a "Muglo Tee Cashmore" account. No more $5 a month
service charge, even when I only wrote 1-2 cheques a year!
TTFN,
