I want to know if anyone here has had a good experience with http://2mhost.com . I was about to sign up there, but I realized that they spelled "you wrong in their header image, and I can't find a link to their TOS.

Can anyone tell me if they are realiable, and secure.

Decent looking site but if I were you I would find out what exactly an unlimited transfer means.

Say Days Ago, when unsure you should always contact them and give them every possible pre-sales question you can think of to fit your needs. Find out the ups and downs about em, etc. Like 'matrosov' said, find out what they are referring to as 'unlimited transfer'. Most hosts that provide that have one extremely strict TOS and leave little things between the lines as stipulations to how strict they are.

Heard of many bad comments and hosting experience with them.
Not sure can I paste the following link here. There are more to search about them.

If this is disallowed, I will edit them. My intention is to upkeep user and not trying to link or recommend any other forums.

Anyway, we have not related to them.

Their hosting package is too good to be true, really too good to be true.

I as well couldn't find the link to their AUP and TOS, you might give them a call to ask them.

But unlimited transfer is unrealistic, and you are always recommended to stay as far as you can.

Good luck.

I don't think the idea of sending many presale questions to the host is very practical.

The cost of an account is $1.50/month. When's the last time you interviewed the C-store clerk about the bottle of water you were buying?

I am not sure I agree Gordo. Some of the people here are on the very tight budget i.e. college students high school students etc. They are literally giving away their last dollar to pay for web hosting and their sites are important to them like on-line school projects etc. It is only natural they want to ask questions to make sure they are not scamed. I agree that some questions are out of this world like "Do you support any terrorist organizations" but most of the questions we receive are legitimate ones.

Our opinions are whatever they are, but perhaps you misunderstood the point I was attempting to make.

It wasn't that $1.50 may not be important to the buyer but that it was totally unreasonable to expect the seller to be quizzed repeatedly over a transaction of this size. I don't make it a practice to do so and I doubt you do either.
