Amazing free web hosting

[timmyquest]

For 3 years you can get a professional grade web connection for free...no catches, honestly.

You guys can use it for free web hosting or whatever, i use mine for a website i already had www.antiwall.com

i have a 3mbit connection at home and download at my max speed leading me to belive it can handle faster then that.

Just thought i'd throw it out there....

I took a look. Seems ok but I'm a little cautious of free. How long have you been using them? Did you register your domain with these guys or transfer?
Is your website from one of their templates or did you build it yourself?

I was cautious for a very long time, then i just decided to quit worring and for once in my life trust someone. So far i've been very happy. I've searched and searched for "fine print" and cant find any other then 5gigs of traffic a month, $1 for each additional gig.

No i didnt register with them
No that is a template i downloaded off the internet.

Just checked it out and the banner on the front page states that this is a free promotion you have to sign up within the next 23 days, it's free for 3 years than I guess it goes to $29 per month, I don't trust it. to quote a couple of old sayings " there ain't no such thing as a free lunch" and "if it looks to good to be true, it probably isn't true" I would be very careful on this one. If you sign up for the free 3 what happens when you cancel? do you get whacked with a penalty?

I signed on too. I am waiting for my domain transfer.
I can't see getting stuck with a bill as they haven't asked for a credit card. I did however have to charge the domain transfer to credit card which was a wopping 6 dollars.

Timmyquest, how long did you wait for your domain transfer?

I dont remember actually, i seem to remember me chaing the wrong stuff so it actually took me two weeks or so, i think it depends mainly on the people you registered your name with.

And guys, even if i do have to pay $29 for a month afterwards (thats their more expensive package, i think there are less) for 3 years of web hosting hten so be it.

If this is a scam then they are in for a world of hurt because i know MANY people who have signed up for it.

If you read their FAQ they explain why its free...it's pretty logical to me.

I use the UK side (think they are originally german) of this company for hosting / email for the past year or so with no problems. But then I pay for it ...

As i understand it this UK based company is simply trying to hit the US market, and this is how they are doing it...

I've been playing with this all bloody day. My problem is that I'm just trying to get a site going while I wait for the domain transfer. I've been trying to display everything as it would be after the transfer happens and use the domain that is assigned to me.
Eg:
Display - http://www.newlookphoto.com
Assigned - http://www.s92631903.onlinehome.us

E-mail settings have also been a pain in the ...
