    A small suggestion for people that are looking for decent hosting, take a look at the host website carefully.
    50% of the hosting offers posted here are for quick $$ and left in a short time to warm sunny place with your cash, leaving you alone with nothing.
    Take a few minutes to browse the website, you wil be amazed how little time and effort some guys put into their site, check the links and see how many got not working links, like support links looking like http://# , under construction pages for over a week and longer, pages for hosting and when clicking get 404 page.
    A few minutes or less browsing wil tell you more than so called "reviews" and quick given I-traders.
    Check their support systems knowledgebase (if there is one), being totally empty should ring a bell.
    Look for a T.O.S page, contact page, all those little things.

    I hope this post wil help some to spent money to the proper host that are also around here, and not waste it to scammers.

    Thanks for the tip, even though most of these things should be common sense. Everyone just wants "unlimited" hosting though for proxies and warez.

    It's suppose to be common sense.
