I think it's very possible because they are only offering 250MB of transfer per month in the plan. With such little transfer, the 1GB of disk space would be almost useless anyway.
I wouldn't trust them though. They claim that the retail value of 1GB disk/ 250MB trans. is over $25/mo., which is an obvious lie considering the current state of the web hosting industry.

With 250 MB of transfer, it would take you four months just to upload your 1GB site! I wonder what their bandwidth overage is... that's probably where they make their money.

They appear to be Donhost resellers. That explains the low bandwidth.

.

The worst part is that there is almost always buyers

Well they have a site, alot of the Ebay ads don't.

Well, they got lucky - 9 people are actually interested in this measly 250Mb of transfer... ;)

And I bet that none of them actually understand what transfer is or why they would need it.

This one is even better: HERE (http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2003403906)

unlimited webspace:rolleyes:
50 gb transfer a month:eek:

$10/yr:confused:

Funny how the title of that item says "No Gimmick" --- like its legit!
Ebay should do something about these phoney items.

Yet another Donhost reseller. These aren't scams. These are newbies trying to make quick cash. They don't know any better. I feel sorry for both the seller and the buyers. They don't know what they're in for.

How can somone possibly allow 50gb transfer for only $10 a year?

Sain Cai - They can, because they are buying "Unlimited" bandwidth (notice the quotes, dripping with sarcasm) :D

Actually, Donhost's website is currently crashing my browser every time I try to access it - I think it's been reading WHT, too :)

I kinda look at web hosting much like buying a computer. Most consumers have to buy that first Packard Bell (or other cheap all in one unupgradeable model) and get burned when it's time to upgrade (or they become one of the 28% who had to have their Packard Bells serviced within the first 3 months of owning it) and only after being burned will the average consumer be bothered into educating themselves.

When I used to work at a PC shop where we built good quality PC's and also did networking, I had a motto "everyone has to learn the hard way"

I look at those donhost resellers as the Packard Bells and once most consumers get burned, they'll learn hopefully.

250 Mega Byte per month transfer HAAHHAA
I can do THAT with my ISDN lol

Well, not too bad at 1GB storage and 250MB transfer.

If they keep the promises, it takes 4 months just to upload files, so what? You have entire 1GB mobile HD. Great for saving important stuff online but don't need to download a lot.

But again, I wouldn't trusted those scammers anyway.
