Are there any hidden costs or transaction charges?
We stand for complete honesty and transparency in business. On our website you will never pay anything more than what you see as display price.

Our no gimmicks one fair price policy states that

1.   We will not charge you any thing other than the display price of all the products we sell
2.   We will not hide charges in fine prints or terms and conditions page
3.   We will not invite customers showing them half-truth information in advertisements. Such as $4 domain names, when that price is only available with either hosting purchase or with some useless domain name extension.
4.   We will actively inform and advice customers about the dubious practices of our competitors on our web-page

Following is the list of dubious practices followed by some of the Internet shops

1.   Half Truth Promotions: Use catchy promotional price to attract you to their website. The reality is that the promotional price is only available with some expensive add-on product or on a product that no one wants. ADPS policy is to tell you the complete truth. We respect the value of your time and effort. With our transparent pricing, you need not spend time watching out for hidden costs.

2.   Credit card charges: Some companies charge you as much as 7% of total billing as credit card transaction charges. You may not even know until after you have paid for the service. 7% is huge it means if a company displays $8.99 as price, you actually end-up paying $9.62 for it

3.   Hiding prices in fine print or in font smaller than the list price, one example of such practice is ICANN fee of 25 cents on every domain name

4.   Hiding prices on terms and conditions page

On our website you will never pay anything other than what you see as display price.
