i dont trust ebay what so ever looks like a classic scam to me tbh, this statement should read:


Once you have payed for one of our Hosting Packages through eBay, i will be alerted. We will then laugh our ass's off and go out to the pub and get drunk on your cash because you fell for it!!. Your account will never be set up straight and you will never be sent your log in details because they wont exist.


thats my thaughts anyway lol

sounds a bit dodgy to me

also forums require a database and they dont mention databases

also for £100, you could host something good for around 20 months quite happily, thats without taking into account inflation

seem's ok to me hes been a member of e-bay since jan 06 no - feed back

 

[hesmondo]

lol, seems like a scam to me, especially if He's only been a member since january.

 

[Fire]

you could do a lot better, there are a number of better hosting companies

you can look for reviews on www.webhostingchat.com

 

[Dataforce]

it says £100 in one place, and £9.99 in another..

 

[hesmondo]

Can't be used for games sites...

[edit] sorry, just seen that you'd said that

 

[Pyros]

Why would someone have this playing constantly on their website lol, sounds like space invaders.

Even if it IS real - the terms basically allow them to say 'we think you using too much bandwidth, good bye' it is too broad. They could even say too many visitors is a hefty download amount. I wouldn't go for it personally.
Host-gator who is I am with - never had any problems.

Im more worried by the fact it takes Cpanel, and all the basic things that come included with it nowadays and blows them entirely up like they are gods ultimate gift to the internet.

Im with surpasshosting. I get 200gb diskspace, and 2000gb bandwidth per month for only £3.50 or so a month (depending on exchange rates) my server went down for 45 minutes last week, and thats the only time its ever been down in 2 years. Because the hosting is shared though, there is an "acceptable use" policy, but if you break it, then they just suspend your account for a few hours, and give you a warning about it.

i agree they need to have that clause more defined

im with hostgator too & got my site space & bandwidth upgrade last week

 

[Dataforce]

also, dont forget there is no such thing as unlimted disk space/bandwidth.

 

[Atomicide]

Stated bandwidth/Diskspaces is always better than the ones that say "unlimited" because when its stated, at least you know where you stand. and 2000gb bandwidth I get is enough for mir to be downloaded over 2000 times a month. Which is more than the official assholes would get.

 

[Dataforce]

i also wonder about the surpass hosting servers :P

They say 200gb diskspace, and 2000gb bandwidth per month
and only charge ~£3.50.

I seriously doubt they actually have enough space/bandwidth for 200gb/2000gb per user, and i imagine if you start using too much they'll start moaning at you, its as bas as the "unlimited" ones.
