My Ebay auction:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2019356407

and what they responded with:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2019477707

a snippet, please, put your drink down first as you're likely to spew coke all over your keyboard this is comedy at its finest:

recently started selling our truly unlimited packages here on ebay for 29.99 a year. Our packages are TRULY UNLIMITED. Some other unscrupulous, dishonest dealers on ebay are trying to convince people there is no such a thing as unlimited...well there is....Just because they cannot or will not offer unlimited hosting is no reason we cannot, or don't.

Yes folks, I am now unscrupulous and dishonest for NOT SELLING unlimited hosting plans. I believe, I have just seen it all.

I told you to put the drink down.

Feel free to ask this guy if you can move yahoo.com to his servers :) hahaha

I sent them an email asking if I can put my 100GB+/mo Bandwidth site that uses a couple GB of space etc...
We will see what happens.

Yes, some other unscrupulous, dishonest observers on this planet are trying to convince people that the sky is NOT falling...

maybe I should ask if they would host a forum that I currently host? it only gets about 500gb in and out a month....that won't be too much for an unlimited plan. humm and it requires a dual 866 and 20gigs of drive space to run it at 90% load 24/7 but it is unlimited so I don't think they will mind. :D

They didn't like the email I sent to them, asking if I could host my site that uses over 100GB of transfer. I told them I didn't want to get tossed around like so many of those unlimited hosts do...
They were rude to me in their reply, and the stated the right to refuse service to anyone, particularly me. I guess they can't handle any real customers.
Feel free to contact me if you would like to read the letter, I am not going to post it here though.

Haha call him on his "we have a phone number, do they?" 800 line and ask where he buys his unlimited harddisks?

I think Rewdog was refering to his experiment with unlimited hosting :D
