    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.

    is this any good?
    This loaded a totally blank page for me. twice

    Is it one big ad that ZoneAlarm filtered? Or something wrong?

    If you could host a new kind of content from your old-fashioned web servers
    and make new money from your customers and differentiate your business all at the same time... could you afford not to try? See the new site

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

    It's for a 3 month introductory period. Take a look at the asterisk.

    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.

    Since you signed up on that special in March?

    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.

    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,
