hi i have an account on that web and shell provider and it's seems to be dead, anyone know why?.

Thanks a lot for your help.

is this penguinhosting.net? Hmm..honestly i do not know the answer to your question but i noticed that their site is very similar to activewebhosting.com esp. the offer of "unlimited space + no bandwidth charges"

I'd stay away from either of them..

why?have you problems with them?

"activewebhosting.com" ->.. woh amazing.. they charge $10/month and gives unlimited space/bw and a free domain!
how do they even make money?

Wow, Went along to activewebhosting.com thought i could see their plans by pressing the "enter" button, but it took me to a random website and gave me a free virus, How fun...

Actually some companies manage a profitable business by selling that way, I dont see it myself but there is a way, im sure it is hidden deep down in the AUP or TOS.

Yeah they own the domain name and resell it to you if you move away from their servers.

One big problem..
One word sums it all up..
"UNLIMITED"

Hosts who offer unlimited disk space, or unlimited bandwidth are selling you a scam.. Use at your own risk..
