In the end all worked out, I still had .2 credits when I got to a computer (better type fast) but that was surprise because I thought I surely already got cut off. I know this would be some work on the administrator’s part but I thought this may be an interesting solution to my time spent in the car wondering “ohh crap, how long until I can get to a computer?”
You can purchase Hosting Credits. See below:
QUOTE(OpaQue @ Oct 12 2005, 07:34 AM)  For purchasing Hosting Credits, Contact SALES@ASTAHOST.COM
It's happened to me many times, where I got suspended because i didn't have any more credits. Not so much now with my cable line, but when i was on dialup and the phones would go dead for a week. I would finally get online and see that i was minus 4 or 5 hosting credits, but at least it seemed to me that astahost was very generous with those credits needed to get back the hosting. I would get like 2 points for a relatively short post, and only once i was in the clear would i get half a point or a point for the same post length.
Was that just my imagination, or does it actually work that way, I don't know. QUOTE I would get like 2 points for a relatively short post, and only once i was in the clear would i get half a point or a point for the same post length. Nope, it's not your imagination. From what I read on the credit system, it should work that way. It gives those with fewer credits a chance to build up the credits quicker in the beginning. But once you have more credits, you will need to add more content than before to get the same amount of credits. As long as you are an active member here, that shouldn't be a problem Was that just my imagination, or does it actually work that way, I don't know. 
I don’t think contacting the sales department at 5pm on a Friday would really be wise if you were in an “emergency.” I was thinking more along the lines of an automated process.
Even though i am a paid member of ComputingHost now and a bit unhappy. Just so that other members would know, how much does one hosting credit cost in U.S. currency?
Its probably not too much since a basic ComputingHost account with more space and bandwith per month costs around 3.30.
At trap these are the current prices for purchasing hosting credits.
QUOTE 185 credits (6 months) $10.00 365 credits (12 months) $20.00 550 credits (18 months) $30.00 730 credits (24 months) $40.00 18.5 credits per dollar-$10.00 18.25 credits person-$20.00 16.6 credits per dollar-$30.00 18.25 credits per dollar-$40.00 Since most likely astahost is using the same plan for purchasing credits then what I showed you will be right on the breakdown.
If a user only wanted a month of hosting credits would that be possible?
I think those are quite reasonable. I may have to buy a couple hundred.
I will find out if AstaHost has automated checkout for hosting credit purchase. And I will let admins know and have it available for all--that is if it exists.
In the mean time, please make sure that your hosting credits are above 10 possibly at all times. This will make your life less complicated

I mean, I don't think that this website generates a lot of money, and for the great free hosting they are offering, they should really be charging us... This website has been open for a couple of years already, and all good things have an end... I hope it's not anytime soon.
QUOTE(tansqrx @ Dec 11 2007, 02:02 AM) Here is suggestion two. Make a system that automatically emails the primary account when your credits get below lets say three days and another when it reaches one day. I got this idea from DynDNS. They email you five days before your domain will expire. Well, i think they just updated lately. Lately I receive one email telling me that my account is suspended when it happen. At least some improvement. Better to know first rather than having the web user to inform us,

I was suspended lately. Haven't been suspended for quite a while. Was back for Raya celebration 2 weeks ago, to my wife's home town, no internet access, and until now still busy with my back log.
Anyway, I notice that even after I was suspended, my point still get deducted everyday, why? It wasn't the same before, or I didn't notice it before. But anyway, it shouldn't be, cause our hosting has been suspended, by right no more credit should be deducted. If it happen that I don't post anything for longer time, it would be harder to catch back to positive credit and resume my hosting. Hope I can catch up with the credit soon, don't like to see my hosting down for so long QUOTE(saint-michael @ Dec 13 2006, 08:59 PM) Basically you pick a number and if you get lucky you win, of course if you read the book the lottery then you were chose to be sacrificed to appease a demon. Yeah it's been awhile since I read that book, someone else who read correct me on that If I am wrong. Although I am a bit shocked that that the credit purchase is done through sales and not set up like it is on trap. For the lottery wouldn't we have to spend credits for a number?
