,i think i should use "it is a scam!" instead of "could be", the price is few times cheaper than most companies.

just curious, anyone has experience with this company?

[Jon FB]

Either it is a scam or they are massive over selling.

[Curto]

It is not a scam, and no, I do not oversell...

Right now I'm selling with a very low profit margin to build a client base. If anyone would like to be put in contact with some clients to find out what my service is like, please do not hesitate to email me .

I strongly suggest people do research before assuming that someones offerings are a scam...

Ok, i found this form when surfing for a deal, and i feel a need to register to correct this.

I have known the owner as a friend for over 4 years, before he started his web hosting and when he lived in aussie land. I trust him with my lan's website and ive trusted him with many things in the past, he is true to his word.

If he says thats the price for hosting, that is the price for his hosting. He is always on aim, and when i do something stupid he corrects me, hell just today he pointed out that his cpanel has fantastico, so i didnt need to try and install phpnuke on my own, that saved me a headache

If you have any questions, my aim name is Qapf, my email is qapf@qapf.com and the site he hosts is the site listed in my profile. our site is ****ed atm due to a typo, so im replacing it with phpnuke, work should be done by tonight.

It's cheap, but no scam.

I'll let you know in three months how it's going. Right now, it's great. I hope it stays that way.

I have an account with HostSpace and it is very high quality web hosting. Yes his prices are low, but like hostspace said, he is trying to build a client base. I have been a customer of HostSpace for about a month and their has been a total of 3 minutes of downtime. He has great service and the servers are very fast. Search around the forum and you will see others that are very happy.

to prove that I am not the only satisfied customer view this thread:

What a coincidence. A friend signs up to defend a host. This is something new.

Do you have a grudge against me for a reason? This is a forum for discussing webhosting, not to try to discredit your competition.

[xstorm]

well, i have nothing to say about it, i have decided to go with hostspace.us, i've sent an order email to the owner, hope i will be able to post a review for that company few weeks/months later...

[blue27]

I have a grudge against hosts who misrepresent what they can offer.
Let's take an example from your site.

Perhaps you could explain this plan:

7.5gb space
125gb transfer
$330/year = $27.50/month - 35% (Nov. special) = $20.63/month


You say you do not oversell. I say you are stretching the truth at best.

You expect me to post a justification? How many webhosting companies are going to provide details of their costs and expenses in a public forum.

You're kidding yourself to say the least if you expect I will be the first.

I do not misrepresent what I offer. The servers my customers are on do have sufficient space and bandwidth that if every single one used their entire allowance (the amount they pay for) I would still have spare resources. No resource is oversold, nor will any ever be.

I strongly suggest you rethink your tactics.

[xstorm]

lol, a chinese idiom is suitable for this situation, "time can prove everything",just wait for my review
if the owner of this company wanna do serious webhosting business, he has to know what will happen if he do a scam.

[blue27]

I stongly suggest you tell the truth.
