Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Web Hosting : Anyone heard of Maxin Web?

Has anyone had any experience with Maxin Web? They seem too good to be true and with all that true hosting stuff going on I would really like some feedback before I decide. It says right on their site that they recently changed names...

Advise run don't take a second look at there site. any host that can offer this for the price they are aint planning on making much money -
5 MB
Unlimited POP3 Email
Unlimited Transfer
And More...
Price: $5.95/Month

Extra bandwidth costs more than that. I personally think it's another scam. If i can could offer that id be doing it but it just aint possible to offer unlimted bandwidth at that price in fact at any price.

I am also attracted to the price/features of maxin. I don't recall if they support web-based email which I want. Maxin's published 800 # is a voice mail it seems, but that seems typical among low cost providers (if they even offer a phone # at all). I still haven't decided on a host myself -- see my other post on looking for low cost host.

Fthosting is quick on assessing and somewhat biased since he provides hosting services (UK-based) and is looking for customers. You might want to check him out; he probably does a fine job -- personal attention (at least in these forums). I would discount his opinion though.

Well i was only trying to help with your question. ask anyone it's impossible to offer unlimited bandwidth. Also if i was trying to promote my service id do something like - Come to fthosting blah blah blah but im not doing that im giving my opinion as a normal person not a webhost.

If i was promoting my service why would i point people to other hosts ?. I want to help if people do not wish for my help ignore my posts all i wanna do is help people find the right host for them i know its hard to belive coming from a webhost but it's true.

no offense fthosting but you -are- promoting your service...

otherwise you wouldn't have picked "fthosting" as your username and put your URL in your sig.
