I went to order 1 year of linode 128, but when it got to billing information, it appeared to pro-rate me to the end of the month. I actually want to pay for a whole year in advance as it makes my accounting much easier.

How do I do this?

I would be happy to purchase this month pro-rated plus the next year in full.

Hello and thanks for signing up!

Annual payments are pro-rated for the first month (so July 9th, 2003 - July 31st, 2003) -- then on about the 21st you'll be invoiced and billed for the entire year (August 1st, 2003 - August 31st, 2004).

We pro-rate the first month so the billing dates are the same for everyone. I should add that info to the Sign-up page.

Thanks for your question,
-Chris

I've modified Step3 of the signup process (the final page) to include a note about annual payments.

Thanks.
