    lol 10 terabytes......................for 99 cents. [MERGED]

    fxts.net $1 plan:

    # 10 Terabytes (10,000 Gigabytes) of disk space
    # 10 Terabytes (10,000 Gigabytes) of monthly bandwidth

    jesus i dont even think 10 terabytes is possible lol. and if it is, no one's going to be offering it for a dollar. haha these kids are getting ridiculous with the overselling nowadays, sorry i just had to post this. what has the web hosting industry come to.

    rofl.

    K, but what are the overages? How much for extra space and bandwidth?
    And you say 99.9% uptime guarantee, so if it gets to 99.89999% will i get a full refund?
    Oh and do u have a coupon i can use?

    PS: Note their affiliate link to hostgator

    I went over the signup process, and in the final sequence it took me to paypal payment page, and it is really $1

    The hosting package is definitely fake (10 TB for a buck) but how do they think they will be actually making any money? I know what oversellers are, but on the homepage they say "we do not recommend our Web hosting service to beginners", but expect the experienced guys to signup. Experienced guys won't signup for this funny plan, so what? I really wonder their motives.

    But it was fun reading their homepage!

    Yes possible on one server. You can get a server with 12 harddisk slots. You install 12 of 1 TB drives, and put them on RAID-6 so it will be double redundant and safe.

    Would cost you $1500/mo though

    We are laughing now, but give it a year. We'll see big name hosts offering packages just like this.

    I think I'm going to get a head start. I'll open another brand and offer 1,000,000 TB of space, and infinity TB of transfer. No, wait. Infinity TIMES TEN TB!! YEAH!!!

    Hah, with a reseller account he's offering 10 terabtyes? Now that will get interesting. 10mb....50mb...."we're sorry disk is full".

    And the affiliate link really just tops it off. If they're looking for that professional image, they really captured it.

    Customer accounts are setup on a different server to the hosts server.

    According to sys. info. the hard drive is over 200GB with about half being used to-date.

    The server is a Dual-Core AMD Opteron Processor 2210 - 2 processors.

    Load averages (to-date) are quite low between 2 and 4 and the server uptime (to-date) is 24 days.

    I think the affiliate link to HG is to help them make money even if you don't choose them - for whatever reason.

    This thread seems a little unfair, sure I do not believe they can supply that amount if the demand for it arises but everybody is taking this thread as a 'lets laugh as it must be a joke'.

    I saw the owner post on WHT a while ago announcing their site, so I'm pretty sure it's not a joke.
