As they seem to be very new I´m wondering if there´s anyone with them right now. They seem to have very interesting hosting packages and I´m thinking about joining 'em.

Can anyone state some details?

They look very professional

Anyone know where I can get me one of those fancy imhosted@hotmail.com business email addresses?:D

I'm not able to reply to this thread because it keeps telling me my account might be suspended - or something.


So - if this works - in reply to strange1 et al.

The site looks cool, it looks fast - so go for it. Their TOS would scare me off though.

And if you guys figure it's OK for a mega-professional looking hosting company with OC 192 connectivity and all that to have a hotmail account for business contact purposes then who am I to argue (It's in the detail for me I suppose)

fine, so you made a whois on the registrant and it shows that he registered with an email from hotmail ...

so what? why does that state that this service is not professional? That doesn´t convince me.

I don't know about their services, but I love their design.

I also used free email accounts before, I use to move from 1 ISP to another every month (all sucks here). So, I wanted to have an static email address. I don't see the problem of this.

They likely did hotmail so that if their is a problem with their domain, that third party mail system can still be used to work with the registrar. No realy biggy here.

Also OC 192 is not 220 times faster than a T3, it can carry that many more times worth of data at the SAME speed. Its also shared, so its not a fair statement. A half used T1 will still be faster than a T3 at its peak for example.
