70% of hosting provider on ebay do go out of business with in 3 months or less. Or have real bad service. I did my self advertising on ebay and did get a lot of business however 90% of my customers are from some other host on ebay. Major problem reseller go out of business. Bad business practice. Take example of comistics.com. Comistic literally blew a lot of customers. And is a pain.

Just be careful about some unbelievable deals. There r companies which can offer too good to be true prices I did once. But keep in mind there will be certain restrctions. Like cpu usage or abuse. I do unmeter transfer however overall my server dont go above 600GB a month. And my server are on dedicated bandwidth. and we dont host multimedia adult sites either. So we can still afford it :)

Most of the hosting ads on eBay are just a laugh to look at. Just type 'web hosting' in the search box and snicker away :D

Wow - I didn't know that I was limited to 500Mb of transfer a month. Gee - I thought it said "unlimited hits"... Oh - there's the fine print: "...as long as you do not exceed 500Mb of transfer per month. Subsequent Mbs consumed are billed at US$0.50 each".

Okay, I made that up off the top of my head, but I do recall seeing something like this the last time I did such a search. ;)

A Quantum Singularity or static warp shell should do the trick :)
