Has anyone checked out Data Packet Network (http://www.datapacket.net/hosting.htm)? It sounds too good to be true! I love their Virtual Private Server, just look at the features! It's just like a dedicated server but just much more cheaper. I've been looking for a cheap dedicated server for a long time, maybe this is my solution?

Anyone has experience with them?

If you use these guys, make sure to take a screen cap of their Terms and "No bandwidth fees ever!" statement. That way when you add 100 domains and use a few hundred gigs of transfer, they can not just drop you and bill for bandwidth. These guys flat out say "No bandwidth fees ever!" on their palns.

I am guessing this will be removed in a month or two. :D

I remember that Hypermart also offered "unmetered data transfer". They even had a slogan like "all the bandwith that you can eat" or something like that. But they changed their terms of service and although I signed up when they offered "unmetered data transfer", I had to choose between accepting their new terms or being kicked off the server!

So I never thrust it when they say "unmetered data transfer"! But this plan is really attractive!!

Point is that they say no bandwidth fees ever. That means you will never have fees - *ever*. Even if they change the terms.

To me these guys are too new to understand what they are doing by offering something like that.

What do you suggest? Signup before they change their terms?

Do a search about them here on the forums :)

I am saying that if after you do your research, and everything looks good, then make sure to get a copy of that feature/'advertisement' for "No bandwidth fees ever!" That way, you at least protect yourself as much as possible from the surprise bandwidth fee.

If it sounds too good to be true...it probably is...

They actually removed my friend reseller account . Just the same as what UmBillyCord had said.

"you add 100 domains and use a few hundred gigs of transfer, they can not just drop you and bill for bandwidth."

"I am guessing this will be removed in a month or two. " - definitely yes. One month, and my friend NT hosting is gone.

This is from their TOS:

5.6 Un-metered bandwidth constitutes; that DPN will not limit or throttle bandwidth to any customers site. All sites on DPN servers have full speed access to a dedicated port . High bandwidth sites with heavy scripting may violate section 5.4 and or section 6.1 of this agreement, therefore the customer must make sure the CPU and or MEMORY usage on their site is not deemed excessive


What if that port was capped at 128kbps =)

Any site that uses a high amount of bandwidth will slow down the server somewhat so they can kick you based on their TOS that you are slowing down the server, not that you are using excessive bandwidth.

True, but if they have Linux, you can have them take a screen shot of Top showing whether this is BS or not. Anytime we get high use sites, we take screen caps and show the customer.

Im sure the bandwith is capped. Not a host in the world can offer unlimited bandwith for $40 a month without losing money.

128k sounds like a good number, runs around $40... If you take a look at , http://hosting.adultcentral.com/ they have capped bandwith accounts.

Oh and by the way, for a even moderatly large website, 128k is NOT fast enough... Its terrible.
