Anyone heard of **********.com?
Their service is very... very.. BAD...
They ONLY have 40% uptime.. :angry:

Just beware... don't cheat by them with $49.90 whole live hosting.
After they got your money, they don't bother to read your
complain, and they down their server every weekend. :mad:

So are you saying when the weekend comes around, they purposely 'flip the switch' and turn the server off for two days? :confused:

It may well be they are not multi-homed and are only using cogent, they could therefore be up but having some network problems.

Anyone heard of **********.com?

Anyone realized what the domain name is? host me free?
With a domain name like that, they shouldn't be taking people's money, they should be hosting people for free.

With a name like "**********", why would anyone pay them for hosting?

Maybe "host me free" means they want some one to host them for free, then they can charge you and make money.
Of course being that they are being hosted for free means they aren't going to get 99% uptime.
