I think the OP was just trying to get some kind of reaction from them, though I do agree that it is a little bit fast, could have given it a day or two more perhaps?
But on the other hand, to say that as the owner you don't give refunds and don't know the specs of your machines BUT you will go out and make sales pitches is kind of confusing. Because if your going to be hands-off then be hands-off but I mean who am I go to give you advice on how to manage your site. And as well I find it kind of ridiculous that you use the excuse "how many owners of companies do refunds"...sure the CEOs and Presidents of large corporations don't but I hope you realize that in most small to even medium sized businesses the owner is usually willing and capable of doing so (not just in web hosting, in any industry). You can say you don't authorize refunds because that's a different department or something but to say what you said is absolutely ridiculous unless your a large corporation, in which case I'm sadely mistakened and you shouldn't really listen to anything I have to say.
And one last thing, it doesn't matter if its the DC's fault, the buyer is buying FROM YOU, not from the DC. They are paying you and not the DC so you ASSUME ALL responsibility for the user, I'm getting really sick of people saying it's the DC's fault. While it very much may be true, it can't be used as excuse and the end user shouldn't have to care where the problem is. It all comes down to management and communication between you and your DC and the way in which things are handled. That is the hosting company's responsible not the client's.
Have a good one that's just my 2cents.
I agree totally. That was a silly statement. I give out Refunds when and where it is necessary to do so and I am the owner.
Stupid statement for a hosting provider to make.

Well, I prefer to do sales as it's what I'm best at. About the billing although, it is done by 2 accountant friends I know. I don't give refunds because it's un-needed for me to do that, and it just ends up in a mess when I go refunding people and they get an email for a refund for a server that has already been refunded and it takes 3x as long to work out what happened then it would if they dealt with it.

I assume you mean you don't physically run the actions that will produce a refund.. But you surely have the authority to give a refund..
If you're so happy with your old provider, that you were with them for a full year, why leave?
