Whenever u see sumone offer unlimited webhosting run.

There no such thing, i worked in the webhosting bussiness for good few year.

Anyway Enjoy.

I don't see anything there that says it's not unlimited.

Obviously, it's a ridiculous thing to say that there is unlimited disk space on any server, though.

That makes me suspicious, but the $19.95 deal looks ok.

I would want to read the fine print in their TOS, though.

Caveat Emptor!!

that was my point every company tht offers unlimited wont last a month.

[Xon]

Yeah, too good to be true.

[shahab6]

Thanks for the link JohnScott , but I got it before I read that , or well, maybe they fixed up their act. What do you guys think I should do, should I cancel it, but I already paid for the unlimited plan, or I should keep it and see what will happen.
Thankyou all for the feedback

What i hate about these guys who sell from ebay is that they all have sum crap template which is so ugly.

Ps: They are lying would they tell u they just had a down time? U wont buy from them.

This company has been around for while. What I was reading that most of the people were actually breaking the tos. Anyway I'm new to all this, you learn with trial and error. I have question as a reseller, I can give away free hosting?

[shahab6]

I'm going to be with them for one month and see how they are, then I'm going to cancel them, I will keep you guys updated. Again thanks for all your help.

[shahab6]

One more question, lets say I start selling to 2-4 people, and then I find out the server is bad, and i cancel my account with them , will the clients be cancel too?

[Sabeur]

general Hosting mean webhosting, imagehosting so if they no general hosting that mean you can't.

The clients will be canceled also unless they are willing to pay.

[shahab6]

What are some causes for a downtime?

[Michael Allison]

Anything from power loss, as in no lights in the house, to a DOS attack.

There are quite a few things, I think that can happen, but it's usually the result of poor setup/maintainence or too high of a server load (just too may resources being used at once) or a hacker.

At least, that's been my experience.

My experience with reselling, 2 different companies over the past two years, Vortech and Hostgator, you are buying space on a shared server. All accounts you set up are basically partitians of your reseller account. When your root account is allowed to expire so does everything set up under it. You just have to move your clients sites to the new servers when you make the change.

As far as being allowed to give away free hosting, you're paying the fees so you should be able to sell it at any price you feel fair...including $0 if you prefer. If a provider restricted such a thing I would go with another company.
