Let's see, where to start:

1.) I got a SPAM message this evening for their hosting service. In the message it said 'HostExcell does not send or support unsolicited email, you are receiving this message because you are either our custoemr, our affiliate's customer or you have expressed interest in our services or affiliantes in the past.

Yeah, RIGHT. If that's the case, state your affiliates. Whatever.

2.) On their site...200mb, 22.95 a year, unlimited transer (note the spelling mistake.), 300mb is 32.00 a year. Hmm, let' see, 300mb, 'unlimited transer' for a little over $2.50 a month. Hmmm, yeah.

3.) this site is a joke. In their FAQs:
Do you support Active Server Pages (ASP) or Cold Fusion?
No, our servers are UNIX based and we do not support it. These are only supported on Microsoft's Windows NT platform.

hahahahhahahahhaa

:eek:

Well, even their "logo" has "inc" in lower case.....

But that is a nice graphic of a Florida beach....

Yet another company that ripped off Hostway's money-back-guarantee logo.

From their AUP:

to avoid disappointment please use a PHP/ASP message forum

It's really annoying seeing these start-up hosts that come out of no-where, with no business plan and vanish after a week. From the looks of their site, they seem to know nothing at all about hosting. All they do is make a site, advertise it like hell and hope to make lots of money. I'm not saying everyone is like that, almost everyone here at wht are a genuine hosting company, but it's these crappy hosts like hostexcell and hostonce that annoy me soo much.:mad:

Yep they def. stole that 30 Day Money Back logo. Anyway the site design is ok. Looks like a free template if you ask me.

Why does Host Excell only offer two packages?
By offering only two packages, we cut down our overhead costs and pass the savings on to you.

Host Excell has installed a new fiber gigabit local area network, this connects our servers to the OC192 backbone 10 times faster than before. Get your site hosted on our feature rich plans and
hi-speed servers with NO banner ads or pop-ups on your website.


umm anyone with a 192 damn sure needs more than two little packages to pay for it. Looks like something a clueless high school kid would do
