their offer seem to good to be true ... a Raq4 and 150Gb of bandwidth/month for only $139.99 ?

Has anyone any experience with them ?

Thanks !

following a quick overview look of their site, it all looks fine, they dont seem to offer an uptime guarantee but thats about it.

I think the reason they can support such a low price is maybe their setup fee: $349.99 (woah) and also the fact that the setup fee is "non refundable".

for a small extra amount per month you could get a far lower setup fee and maybe switch away from a cobalt raq server to a true linux server.

Another limitation is that you only get 2 IP addresses, and if you go over your bandwidth, its a whopping $10 per GB !, im currently paying as little as $2.50 per GB over with WeinBar, most other ISP's offer the same too, i think they offer such a low priced service via the setup and overcharges. (Kind of like a video store charges when the video is overdue)

Wouldn't you get the same Raq4 and 150Gb with Rackshack for $99/mo.? (and $250 setup)

of course rackshack is cheaper but i've seen several negative comments about it that's why I'm asking about hosting.us.com


any other comments anyone ?

The negative comments about Rackshack on this board are minors and to my readings those who initially complained were later satisfied (correct me if I'm wrong). I think at this point they still give you the best value for your money (for the RAQ4i).

whatever the quality of rackshack this does not answer my question ... ;)

It answered part of your question:

Yeah it's true and in fact there's one cheaper.

I just realized that hosting.us.com is located in the UK!

If your customers are in UK, it probably makes a lot of sense to host with hosting.us.com - I do not know any other UK host who give you 150 GB of bandwidth for £99 a month (not even donhost.co.uk, which hosting.us.com uses). Look at ping times - they are 13-15ms from UK:

If your customers are in US, you'd better off with US ISP. Ping times from US:
