Before I ordered from UpTown Web Hosting, they answered my questions quickly and were very helpful.  Then I sent in my order.  I didn't get a confirmation or anything.  Two days later, I emailed them asking when my account would be activated.  Nothing.  I also found out that day that the cost of the virtual plan I'd ordered ($25) had been taken from my account.  Several emails and phone calls later (it's been almost two weeks), I have still heard nothing.  One day when I called, their phone disconnected after six rings each time.  Other times, I left messages.  Upon doing a WHOIS, I found out the domain is registered to Steve Vargo (presumably the "Steve" who had the outgoing message when I first called them).  I called the number associated with the domain info, and it said it was "temporarily unavailable." Their website is down now, as is heffran.com, the website of another person at UpTown, Jason Heffran.  There is also a "Jay" who works there.  I have filed a report with both sponsorfraud.com and the Better Business Bureau of Western Pennsylvania.  I have put a stop payment on my bank account so they can't take any more money, so there is also a report filed with them.  I will be sending a certified letter to Mr. Vargo on March 17.
