Are you looking at the free hosting?

So what's the catch? There is absolutely no catch. Simply register a new domain or transfer your existing domain for only $35.00 and get free professional hosting. Domain name renewal is just $35.00, and hosting for your domain is FREE Every Year - not bad for only $35.00! You get a complete, professional and powerful solution to host your site and do business online

mccm,

been with them for several years. You can ask for php & Mysql, which is about $50 I believe and 250 Mb space.
Their uptime is okay, their support is good, etc
Ooh hey, so they give 5 Gb bandwidth a month. They'll give you an automated warning if you exceed that. But just ignore it it's like having unlimited bandwidth, because I was using 100 Gb a month instead of 5 Gb, and they didn't really say anything
You can install your forum on it of course. So yea, quite good, if you don't need more space. Mister.net customers are usually beginners, who don't have too much traffic on their website.

You push 100GB of bandwidth and they host your site for free?

I paid for the 5Gb a month. I don't even think they control whetever you go over it or not. Because if they would know, they would definitely have said something. If you go over the bandwidth limit, you get an automated mail, and I guess they expect you to mail them to ask what to do. That's how they would find out.
++ dont be afraid, they are very friendly and won't be mad IF they would ever find out about it

Wow well it sounds like the dream hosting provider, 100 GB of bandwidth for free. WOW is all I can say.

Interesting to see if they would continue to be so "nice" if their server approached its data transfer limit.

Have any logs you could show us on the BW usage? This could be a bit entertaining
