That whole chat thing can be pretty convincing that BOG is under Dynastack, but as that was the focal point of the sales rep's proof of relation to Dynastack, I'm starting to think maybe they did get owned. There is absolutely no news about Dynastack opening up this child entity.
Also, the BOG website is hosted in Kansas somewhere and according to Dynastack's website, they don't have a datacenter there. Also, Dynastack's SSL certificate's meta-data is thoroughly filled out, and BOG's is blank. Probably beating a dead horse here but this one seems to be a bit more elaborate if it is a scam.

WHOIS dates to the 4th and is private. They are claiming to be under the company Dynastacks (a major hosting company). Dynastacks has public registration information, been around since 2005 (at least their domain has), and has no mention, links or ties to BitOfGlory.
I was greeted right away with a chat at Bit Of Glory, didn't need to put in my name, or any information, and nonetheless, the chat agent did not have the professionalism I would expect from a company as reputable and big as Dynastacks. And of course when I point that out, all of a sudden, the agent started using capitalizations, spelled out his words and proper punctuation. No more 'lols' and emoticons.
My verdict: Stay away.

Although slightly creeped out at how quickly you were able to poke holes in this I am feeling the same way. Something just felt off. I can't put my finger on it but I believe something isn't right. Going to investigate further. If any "liars, competitors etc" have any info please share.
edit: for some reason I thought i recognized the name but no one seems to actually know them. May have recently went under or some other shenanigans, the 866hosting is a bit odd.
I felt manipulated, like someone was pushing me and I wasn't sure why. Kinda timeshare-presentation-dirty aftertaste. Person used several timeshare sales tactics that I was able to pick up but could have been just an overly ambitious kid trying to make a buck.
Also, should be noted, even if they deliver on a few small contracts, could be easily purchased off of ebay and then setup as a short term bait into a larger contract. I would consider going in on a small contract if someone wants to test the waters (after reaching out to parent company tomorrow during regular business hours).
We cut and pasted a chat with that site rather clumsily, so apologies.
