Unlimited bandwidth and disk space for $1.50 a month, or $18.00 a year, is a big red flag in my eyes. I guess you won't have much to lose except time if you go with them. I might give them a try myself -- I have some files that need serving :) Kinda big too.

Let us know how it turns out!

From their FAQ page (http://www.dellz.com/faq/):

When you say unlimited storage and bandwidth, what do you mean?
When we say unlimited we mean you may use as much as your web site will require, and no we are not kidding! ... We consider a high volume web site to be using more than 10 GB of bandwidth. Please keep in mind you are not restricted on any server, it is your choice.

Honestly, for what they offer and for $18 a year, I don't know how they 1) live up to those specs, 2) offer good support (which isn't cheap) and 3) feed themselves.

Odd things do happen, and all you would lose is $18 and time. I always weigh the pros with the cons and see what turns up as being the best thing to do.

Good luck! :D

$18 is just $2 short of $20......I've always hated Milk

If the site is not of much importance for you then try these guys.... Else look for some place serious.
The reason is simple at that cost they can never provide support to you.

Have a nice day :)

also means unlimited trouble. But if you want even cheaper, try http://9kd.net - 15$ :D They resell donhost.co.uk

This kind of practice reminds me of the pyramid schemes. As long as new customers sign up, things work. But when there is too many customers...

Anybody signing up with "unlimited" something, be prepared to spend your money for 2 month of service, instead of a year...

Oh, I don't want to flame 9kd.net. They might be in business for years to come, what do I know. I just say - be careful...
