There are young people who are business minded.
There are young people who are very good at what they do, hosting, design etc..
I hate it when people come across saying "child hosts" i bet those "childs" could do a far better job than the people saying that message.
Andy, brilliant site mate! 10/10!

Exactly! That's why young people are the highest paid in the industry wherever you go in business!

Is that suppost to be funny? I wasn't saying that but i just didnt like the way he was calling "kiddy hosts". Would you rather we smoked dope and dealed drugs and stole cars on the streets or do something better in our time?

That's great but I haven't seen many UK hosts around, especially cheap ones.
Also I will most likely be offering servers in 2007 which makes it more advanced than most "adult hosts".
And just for the record, at 16 I can leave school, live on my own and register companies. What else is needed to run a business? Age means squat.
Thanks for the compliments everyone

It's a US based company and it's not like I've lied. My DOB has been verified with my bank twice and is clearly stated in my paypal account.
I can't help it if their systems fail to pick that up.

I don't think they care. They just leave that in their ToS incase there is problems, the person under 18 can't do anything against them when they take away their account.

Is the company actually registered? I assume it is because you call it "company". If it is, it's registered in America? If so, why are you targeting the UK market? It actually doesn't make a blind bit of difference if it's US or UK, you're still breaking their TOS and the fact you actually know this seems even more bizarre. What happens when they close your account? When you can't pay the bills for the servers? What's the backup plan? If you're serious about running a business you need to actually do things the right way.
