SyncMazter 11-13-2002, 12:47 PM Havent heard of them? Where are they located?

www.the-webhost.com
ZiCmaN 11-13-2002, 12:58 PM I did just visit them. Seems nice with design and such, BUT I would be real careful of ANYONE that offers what seems to be UNREALISTIC PRICING for storage and bandwidth.
I'm not saying that they are not credible but I think that you should look at it like you get what you pay for and makes you wonder about the actual resources and dependability.
At those prices the only thing that you are wasting is your time that it would take to upload to another provider. Cause you really aren't wasting any money with those pricing plans if you get my drift.
Good luck.

WII-Aaron 11-13-2002, 01:03 PM Try them out. For $4 what do you have to lose?

Synthetic 11-13-2002, 01:18 PM For one thing, their site seems awfully similar to http://www.downtownhost.com
Al Mazzola 11-13-2002, 01:19 PM My take on them, for what it's worth:
They're new - brand new. Domain name was registered on 9/22/2002, and their site content is that of a very young, very inexperienced company. Furthermore, they are registered in Stockholm and accept only paypal. Many broken links on the site, and their posted "Policies" are sketchy, at best. I also agree with the assessment of their pricing as unrealistic.
Their servers, or at least the one hosting their main site, is in the Global Compass facility
I won't pass judgement, but I would personally look elsewhere.

LOL, what a bad copy!
Althrough the style is similar, I found that site horrible!
Bloodburn 11-13-2002, 02:31 PM Well, I just signed up with them. What do I have to loose except $4.95 a month. heh. True, it sounds too good to be true, but seeing as what my last host ended like. Im willing to try this one.
Anyone else know of a hosting service that will let me:
host not porn, but pictures of say..a dog with a gun to its head in a comedy setting.
800-1000mb of space
20+gb of bandwith
20+ subdomains
good uptime
and is $20 or less a month?
insaneraptor 11-13-2002, 05:07 PM this is a pretty cheap host.. i am wery weary..

Yea, sad thing is Intense-hosting suspended my account because of that. They also claimed I had "malicious email abuse" Now, if counting sending out 2 emails a week and recieving 1 a week is malicious then im guilty! lol.
