I don't have any experience with them, nor have I ever heard anything about them, sorry.

I just checked their website, and nowhere did they state what bandwidth was included in their hosting plans. I had to read their "Terms of Use" and still nothing about bandwidth except for:

Specific Use Policies & Traffic and Storage Policies

Go Web Server Technologies concept behind "traffic" and "storage" is to provide our customers with an limited amount of storage space and bandwidth for active web pages. Go Web Server Technologies is able to provide such services based upon a large storage and bandwidth ratio. On rare occasions, a site's popularity and server usage may impair the performance of other sites on Go Web Server Technologies servers.

To ensure proper use, all files MUST be hyperlinked to files (.html, .jpg, .gif, etc.) stored on Go Web Server Technologies server and vice versa. CGI chat scripts are also not allowed and are considered and abuse of bandwidth. Any cgi scripts that consume large amounts of CPU usage or memory are also not allowed. The user will be asked to remove any script that abuses system resources.

I don't trust hosting companies that don't give you all the details before you sign up. How much is too much bandwidth? How much is too much CPU usage? etc... If you don't have these details you could find yourself in a position where they can take advantage of you.

Hope this helps.

I believe they said it was 3GB/month..

Thereafter, all further e-mails did not get any response. It looks like they are pretty new..

A lack of replies from your e-mails is usually a very reliable indicator...

One which indicates this particular host should be avoided.
