Well looking through my last 3 months on Internet Magazine i found an ad in each for Designrweb.co.uk. Their Reseller plan offers Unlimted Space, Unlimted E-Mail, Unlimited Bandwith, Unlimted Domains etc etc.

Sure enough on a tracert and nameserver check they were fasthost resellers. They have been advertising this for the last 4 months yet they havent seem to have been shut down? Thought fasthosts shut peoples accounts like these

you can insert images using the image tag on the toolbar (though i don't know how big) which have to be pulled from remote servers.

or..

you can attach files

lets see ya image then!

sort of reseller-reseller.

after bouncing from one reseller service to another i finally decided to buy a ded server.
(especially after the last incident with donhost)

we do also use palmversa.com (who are just damn helpful) when we get spillover.

Hello

You asked about fasthosts?

They are ...

.. Terrible.

They have shut down many, many resellers and have crashed their business.

Just do a serach on fasthost on this board and you will find it.
