Hi Alb15,
Send them an email to check their response time. A good hosting company will reply within a 2 to 3 hours. If they are online, they will reply quickly.

Re: This reseller host
Is it one big ad that ZoneAlarm filtered? Or something wrong?

Yes, I have seen it - however it won't load. That's not a good sign.

I'm getting a blank page in Netscape, but it loads fine in IE.

I'm using IE...
I'm imagine whatever is causing the blank page, is just some kind of fluke.
or.. maybe someone turned that "no right click" script from that other thread into a "right click only" script accidentally ;-)

So the catch is:
$1/mth for the first 3 months, then revert back to $34.95/mth
??

Yes, that is the "catch". This offer allows customers that want to create a hosting business try it out, and hopefully establish the revenue by the time the normal price kicks in.
Hope this clears things up.
Oh, and to hostpulse- I recall Hostpulse owning ********, and micfo, or at least tied in to some degree, so I suggest not putting much weight into this guys "recommendations".

Its not meant as a catch -- its clearly explained on the page. The offer
is just a way to get resellers in the door, a way to compete. The offer
is a trial offer -- which is very common in most other industries. Direct
TV is always running a "half price for the first six months" offer and
most other companies in other industries do it too... How many times
do you hear "0.0% APR for the first nine months" from a credit card
company? This offer is no different.
The idea is get resellers in the door... Once they get a taste hope that
they decide to stay after the three months are over. No catch.---

To midphase's credit, you are not locked-in to any long term agreement. They are not forcing you to sign a contract for a full year. So it's really a good chance to check them out. The only risk you are taking is $1. If you are unhappy you cancel, simple as that. However, if you are happy, then you are getting an incredibly cheap deal for a few months, and will be willing to pay the regular price after that.
No big bad surprises in the fine print that I can see.

Dan, that's some shrewd advertising you have there. Obviously working for you...But GEE, it must be costing you a pretty penny to monopolise WHT advertising like you are doing.
I have to say though, I followed the link and it states MULTIPLE TIMES that it is a introductory period. I guess it goes to show that people really do scan webpages, rather than read them.

I may be wrong, but that's about the time the banners appeared.
Nice catch on the promo (the iNet 1million ad's) , we'd have taken one of the spots with them if I had seen that post.. unfortunately I didn't see it 'til someone emailed me to tell me, and the spots had been taken.

There arent any catches to it. I did read the fine print

It must be a huge investment to have a deal like that.

We didn't sign up under any special --though I wish I knew of an ad special
when there was one, would have saved a bit, we've been investing
thousands on a weekly basis into WHT ads and marketing... It added up
to a pretty penny.
The best,---
