hi i placed an order this morning and a lady called to ask why the credit card name wasnt the same as my name, so i told her. then she asked for the last 4 digits of the card, so i told her. but then she said something before hanging up that I couldnt understand, due to accent (sorry). So i am just curious if my account is still going to be activated or if i should seek hosting elsewhere because my current arrangement on my friend's server is going to fold in about 6 hours. thanks.

You should wait about 24 hours.
If after that you will not receive your account activation e-mail please send a request about this to billing@hostony.com
