Does this Hosting Company seem too good to be true?

    I just came across this site, and it is unbelievably cheap!
    Is it too good to be true? Has anyone had any experience with them?

    Lets check some users first those are using this service because some time such bots companies get vanished after 20 to 30 sales .

    yes. they look great...and sound great too, but like atulperx said hosting companies that tend to do 'unlimited' or 'un-metered' plans tend to disappear after a short time.

    Not really. Judging from the Whois, the domain has been in existence since 2002. The packages are definitely overselling but if you look at most of the popular web hosting giants, most if not all are selling packages with similar configurations. Of course not that I am encouraging unlimited or unmetered, just saying it is quite common.

    I tried to signup a few days ago and there are two things you must know:

    In the bottom a "Secret Link" that offers you a bigger discount price, but discount or not there is a catch at checkout. Prices are good for 1+ year hosting.

    The day when I found that company I checked too many sites and I'm not sure if the price is if you pay 2 or 3 years in advance :rolleyes:

    By the way, what you did is not thread moved but creating a duplicate thread subject to infraction :eek:

    If you click sign up, then try to close the window a message pops up and says you will receive a further 20%.

    and i moved the thread to 'hosting' as i thought it would be more suitable .

    i think they are SUPER overselling with 750GB of space and 10TB of bandwdth for $4.95/month buy it might have a hidden reason that you have to buy it yearly...thats the catch

    They are overselling, by working out on average that most users don't use alot of space they can offer insane amounts at a really cheap price just because people never use it all. And for the people that do they will just kick off the server. What nearlly all hosting comapines do.

    I'd stick with HostGator if I was you, it's just as cheap and probably more reliable.
