    As you've all noticed, a large number of kiddie hosts offering "space in the moon" for $1 here, and getting disappeared after 1-2 months.

    A few "scam" examples happened even within the last 3 days in DP:

    There are a lot of other kiddie hosts are still advertising unlimited space & 2TB Bandwidth for $2, and there are a lot of DP members are getting scammed by them.

    Please take a few hours to do a research about the host before sign up with them. It wouldn't take a lot of hours for you, just google about them which will provide you with needful information.

    I had a company selling "Unmetered" not Unlimited... Sells Master Resellers for 20$/year, we've been up since Nov 2008 and we are still running :) Not all these hosts would be considered Kiddies or Fly-by Nights.

    Quite a large percentage are. There are many big, successful, reputable companies that offer unmetered/unlimited like Hostgator.

    I didn't mean all the unmetered hosts are scams, what I meant is to do a research before sign up with those "space in the moon for $1" hosts! :)

    BTW, please checkout our latest reseller webhosting offers here:

    He's being sarcastic. He means that some people would take up more resources than others. In this case he refers to 1GB RAM being used by one individual on a shared hosting environment.

    Not all 1 dollar hosting company's are fly by night. For ex, we at http://www.expertwebhost.net never oversell our services and offering 1$ hosting since more than an year. Btw, we never offer unmetered or unlimited plans.
