VoIPo is owned by HostGator, which is fine.  However, they run a false marketing ploy on their homepage which leads you to believe that a special event sell is ending in a few hours.  Everyday the clock resets and the sale is back on.  This is false advertising and demonstrates that you cannot trust the company.  This is an automatic disqualification.
