Hi,

I'm interested by their 35$ plan but before going forward I would like to get opinion form current clients!
So anyone is using them? Are they good, reliable??

Thanks
Raphael

Dear Raphael:

Good evening Raphael!
Generally hosts that provide unlimited bandwidth are unreliable and they tend to fail in the long term. Further searches on this forum revealed their improfessionalism and their childish act (eg. spamming of customers). They also seem to be a reseller.

I hope my advice is helpful to you!
Enjoy!

The site is really purty and all but I question their honesty. First by offering "unlimited" bandwidth.

In their terms of use...

Unlimited Bandwidth:

Expert Hosting allows unlimited bandwidth for all sites, except for those that:

Run any type of Real Media files, including .ra, .ram, .rm, .mp3, .mov, and .avi files.
Offer any type or size of downloads including .exe files, .zip (or any other compressed files) and .pdf files.

Operate any type of chat, forum, irc or similar programs.

Allow visitors to upload files. For sites meeting these conditions, Expert Hosting promises to deliver truly unlimited bandwidth.

If your site cannot meet all of the conditions listed above, Expert Hosting will allow 2.5GB free bandwidth per month and charge $4.00 for each GB above the 2.5GB limit.
------------------------------------------------------

And I find it funny that unless you drag your mouse over " per month and charge $4.00 for each GB above the 2.5GB limit." you don't even see it. :eek: At least with my browser.

There are several red flags to me so I would advise you to look elsewhere.

Haha..Nice find curtis:)

I just wonder how an unlimihost has such a nice design.. Oh wait.. Probably because they moke so much money from the clients who actually believe it is unlimited bandwidth :rollseyes:

Yes, appears that they wanted to hide that part.

Are there any hidden costs?
"No. All costs are stated plainly on our website. We do not hide fees in fineprint, or in our terms of service pages"

Is there anything this host DOES allow you to do???

Planning On Operating A Bulletin Board?

"Sorry... Expert Hosting can not allow its customers to operate Bulletin Boards. These applications simply consume too much bandwidth."

SCAM!

lol. The layout is alright.. On the front page it seems they have forgotten about the little white background around the plans. Unless it was on purpose, which I've never seen before
