Agreed. It took me nearly a year to start getting a steady flow of genuine orders.As has been said many times before. When starting a host, do not expect the host to break even in the first 9-12 months.
I personally would consider a host that has been around for 12 months "new" & "untrusted".
As has been said, its a waiting game, when you reach the year mark, you should start to get a little more respect and trust.
