I know I am sick of server nazi's.

Looks like a fake webhost, or one with insane TOS.

How long has it been around? That's seems like alot of space/bandwidth for just $5...

Their website says ©2000-2004, so I'm going to guess they've been around about four years.

Well I can say I was born in 1899, how would you prove I wasn't?

And I'm telling you and everyone else on this forum your guess is wrong.

But you don't know either, so who are you to guess?!?!

Oh I do know, there are hundreds of sites like this out there, which offer you cheap space/bandwidth and then run with your money or just shut down your site for violating some insane TOS. At that rate they would oversell in about 2 months.

I dunno, I've seen those banners on ctrlaltdel for quite a while.

It doesn't mean they won't scam people.

Nor does it mean they will.

Usually they don't scam you, but there's a good chance they wont give you as much WebSpace or bandwidth per month.  And sometimes the sites are down 99% of the time.  Go to www.simonweb.com for good web hosting thats legit.

If they are overselling space/bandwidth or have some sort of TOS trick, they will scam you. I don't see any way that they can afford to provide that much space as such a low cost, look at anywhere else, the price is much higher for less space/bandwidth.

That's not to say that a site that charges you more won't scam, but it's less likely that they are overselling.
