lol :)

At first I didn't see what was wrong. Then I saw...

For 1.95/Month

As Much Webspace As You Need

As Much Bandwidth As You Need



I think I will agree with you.

It should say: As much bandwidth as we feel like giving you.

I can see why you would think go2 is a scam, and it's possible, but what exactly does dps have to do with any of this?

They have the exact same design, and Go2Search clearly edited the graphics from their site, namely the big quote.

Heh What's their fine print. I am interested to see what it say. How does a company afford to have plans priced so low?

No Comment for now. :)

I wish I'd found you guys sooner.

I just got booted from their "unlimited" progam - 'cause it has limits.

Even if you read the fine print (which I did) and follow the rules (which I did)...

If your site gets too popular (and I checked my resources used, less than 1gig transfer in almost a month), they can REWRITE THE TERMS OF SERVICE (which they did) and boot you!

At least I'm getting my money back.

I'm a living testament to the sayings "If it's too good to be true" and "you get what you pay for."

NEVER, EVER am I dealing with an "unlimited" server again! That is now my litmus test.

HOSTONCE is another sham.

Leave ALL "unlimited" hosts alone!

A friendly warning, from the Brat.

Geez Brat, if you do a search for "unlimited bandwidth" in here I am sure you will find hundreds of people telling you that there is no such thing as unlimited bandwidth. It is more like, "As much as we feel like giving you based on what mood I am in and what I had for lunch!"

When looking for your next host, take a look in here as I am sure you will find people who have hosts with lots of resources and about $2.00 per month more!

Just to make it clear, as I posted earlier, I said I'd wished I found this place earlier.

Not to be a snipe, but I did not know about this place. If I had, I'd SURELY have taken the advice I found.

Sheez, ever heard of a NEWBIE?!

That said, I'm finding some great information here. Glad I found this place.

What's the difference between the special and the basic plan? How many customers do you have?

Yeah, it is a great place.

Oh...we can't comment on our plans here even IF asked...these are not the advertising forums. :(

But you know where we live :) and you can ask us there (email, forums).

You can talk about us all you want.
