So, what do you think?

They've launched in December 2001, so I doubt if anyone on this forum has already signed up with them...

They lowered their prices and added a new package though, so for me they seem pretty attractive.

But if anyone could have any comments on this one, I'd appreciate that! :)

I really need a host urgently, and in fact I need exactly what they're offering in their special (Feb)...

:confused: So, anyone? :confused:

Thx guys, ;)

Thanks for the quick reply! :)

(but ofcourse any more would be welcome too... ;) )

Certainly a most generous offer - I thought it was a typo error with that price, but it's there twice.

Running on the EV1 pipes, which is good as I understand it.

What have you got to lose - not much :)

$40/year, 1 GB space, 3GB bandwidth. Hm. I don't think that's much bandwidth for the space. It is a cheap plan, but I wonder how much extra bandwidth costs.

Uh, $40 and 1 year. There's no month-by-month payment option.

Two things on that site bother me:
1. They're using a premade backend (Not sure why that gets to me)

2. No monthly payment option


But if you go with them, post here on WHT about how it is once you've gotten underway.

In other posts of DefCon (= Genius Hosting president), there is mentioned that the price is 3$/GB extra bandwith.

I know, the no-mth-to-mth payment is a bit irritating, but as Lats already said; what have I got to loose? Man, what's 40 bucks worth these days? :stickout


Anyways, thanks for the replies, I hope there's more to come,


Thank you.
