Since when does a domain cost $100? Also, if I have questions I have to signup? What the heck, please tell me nobody is hosting with this company. According to them a MySQL database (singular) has a $50 value, give me a break.

I think they've made the rounds quite a few times lately. See here (http://www.webhostingtalk.com/search.php?s=&action=showresults&searchid=507505&sortby=lastpost&sortorder=descending)

Very good point!

They've certainly made enough in the spam points collection as far as I'm concerned.


Lats...

I don't think a company name would be banned here for spamming in the outside world. It's only done for spamming within the forums.

By the way Travis, posting your email address in plain text in a public forum isn't the best way to avoid spam!

Where do I sign up for the free $100 domain? Tell me. I can't wait. What a steal! :rolleyes:

What's up with the IP address instead of a domain name? :rolleyes:

the IP dosen't have contact information.

Pretty bad, perhaps they don't even have a real domain name. I wonder if users are really getting their hosting accounts setup.

I have received this same spam mail from http://www.clearhost.com more than once. Notice they have the exact same page lol. It seems they have a bunch of these pages or urls that redirect to the same page or something.
