servage.com to good to be true ?

[TiMeZeRo]

250gb webspace
2100gb transfer per month
free domain
php and mysql all included
unlimited emails

for just $5.25 a month

surely this is a scam ? found when i looked on retailmenot.com there is a code on there to get an extra 25 gb of space if this isnt a scam im def interested in setting up account on there for sharing photos and running multipul websites.

anyone had any experience with them ?

Unfortunately our website is currently unavailable due to maintenance.
This does not affect customer websites.

Not the best start

2100gb transfer per month

probable on a 2mb link so you could never use that if you hat it at full wack 24x7

a lot of these things are just wording scams - note not a scam but a wording scam. like saying you have a watch that can with stand orbital re-entry - sounds ace but impossible to prove and use.


general rule of thumb - you pay for what you get.

Just had a look, a have one quick point, it says £5.25 a month not $5.25 a month. still cheap though.

From their Bandwidth help item:

"If at any time the Customer’s website generates enough bandwidth usage to affect the performance of other customer sites on the server, we reserve the full right to terminate the Customer’s domain name without refund."

.. there's the catch

[TiMeZeRo]

so you guys wouldnt advise this site as a good webhost then

[s1lv3r]

Personally, I would only use a webhost that was based in the same country as me, for both legal cover and support reasons.

i wouldn't say don't go with them, but just don't expect to be able to *actually* store 250GB of data and transfer that almost 10 times a month
