In any case, I just thought I would say, Avoid this host, they are obviously overselling like F2S do!

agreed, what they're offering seems ridiculous

To be consistent I think I'll leave this post seperate from the advertisement.

Actually we are not overselling, no where cloes to it, please do not accuse us of anything unless you have something to back it up with. And you say our offers are ridiculous, it's a special offer, ends 1 day after memorial day. Very Happy

So lets say you had 16 customers sign up for the offer, 16x5GB Space = 80GB, 16X$3 = $48

Now you tell me where I can get an 80GB HD for $48, as I'll be VERY Interested to know, and thats not including bandwidth costs.

If they pay yearly its 16X$30 = $480. I have hosting with them right now, and its great.

What about Bandwidth? What about co-location fees? What about Tech Support?

Well, as a host, I would say it is no way we could survive if we are offering that.

But from a client perspective, it is their benefits. However, do you need 5Gb webspace? Laughing

What Daniel point out is correct. Different issue. One is annual and the other is monthly.
Besides, you have not add in the setup cost and the type of support service receive
from rackshack. Their server is totally unmanaged. Go with it unless you have the experience in Linux administration.
