Anyone ever use them? He is offering you 2GB web space and 20gb bandwidth for only $12.95/month.

Well, I've never used them, but it's safe to say that those specs look high. By the way - where do you see those specs? They are not on the site. Are you getting a custom plan?

They're just a Burst reseller. So they only have 300gb of bandwidth to work with (if they even own the server themselves). Assuming they use all 300gb, that's 15 accounts at $12.95 an account = ~$200...not much of a profit for them.

You should try them out and let us know how they are.

Also, their owner is trying to find a host to host one of his clients who is a spammer. I would not recommend going with this host.

markedoffhosting used to share a part of our reseller server. Three users, one server. This account did more harm than good. I'm glad to say the server is better off without it.

I have a website hosted with markedoffhosting.com. I did have a problem once with the mysql databases, but the owner/tech support person (Alex) helped me out on AIM. My problem was fixed in about 10 minutes (the problem was on my end - incorrect php/mysql connection code)
