Hmm they offer Unlimited traffic and space, well I wouldnt recommend them then. Try to stay away from companies that offer unlimited space and bandwidth, because it just doesnt exist.

Thanks, but I don't really care if it is unlimited. I care about the other features they offer like SSL and Mailing list.
My question is if anyone has any experiances with them and if they are a good company?
thanks

What the above poster was trying to get at is that it is impossible for any company to offer unlimited hosting... there has to be a limit to the size of their hard disk and the speed of their connection... any company that offers unlimited space or transfer is normally (not always) unliked by many people in the hosting community...

Yes, I understand his point..but I was hopping for a response from someone who used/uses them or knows someone that does.

Well I've never used them but, according to whois they were started on Feb 23, 2003 and the fact that they are so new offering things they can't possibly give (ie unlimted bw) I would steer clear of them.

dima316,
Its going to be hard to find someone here that would suggest you go with an "unlimited" host, and its NOT advisable or recommended. Too many horror stories. Im not familiar with the co. and I ran a quick search here in the forum with no luck.
If you are still looking for feedback try some places such as hostsearch.com, webhostdir.com, findmyhosting.com
and see if there is any feedback there.
Other features that you say you "care about" are pretty much basic with standard accounts nowdays and my suggestion would be to look for a provider that states up front what you get. I also suggest you read through their terms of service before making that choice. :rolleyes:

Why don't you just do a search. If the search does not come up with anything other than your mention of it here, chances are that this is an unknown host. The domain is newly registered so that don't have much of a past. Their website is not fully operational (check the menu buttons and links) yet. I don't care for the whois info..who is behind the curtain?

Obviously not. Why don't you just sign up with them and come back in 3 months to tell us all about it. (If they last that long)
