That looks pretty good for being so cheap.

A few questions:
1. What kind of sites can I host on this service?

2. What happens if I go over the BW in a month?

No history on this site (BRAND NEW). No "real" contact info or mail address (even if it is a PO BOX in some mall some where). No idea who runs this site. No idea of quality or support.

According to there site...

Acceptable Use / AUP

Cheap Freakin Hosting does not allow any sites that are considered illegal in the United States of America. If a site is deemed to violate this policy, it will be removed without notice from our system.

Cheap Freakin Hosting does not allow any of the following:

* IRC

The above types are not allowed and will be removed and canceled without notice or refund.

Resource Usage:

Each account is limited to the amount of transfer and disk space allocated to it. If a site exceeds its quota for transfer in a month, a 5 GB block of transfer will be allocated and billed at a rate of $5 for the block. The site will be temporarily suspended until the invoice is paid or until the new billing period begins.

CPU/RAM Usage:

Each site is allocated a daily percentage of CPU usage that shall not exceed 2% of available dailyt resources on average. If a site goes over that allocation, we can at our discretion suspend the site in order to investigate the cause of the over usage of resources.

(Note: spelling mistakes above...)

If you can afford to throw away 12 bucks - great - cause this site has no guarantee that it will be up for a week/month or a year or more...No idea. They may be good - or may be bad. But for 12.00 they an't going to do much for you if you have an issue.

Buyer beware....

[c.h.u.d.]

I posted my questions on their forums, and the answers I got were good enough for me. I wouldn't use any cheap host for something critical, but I do need some web space for a few of my projects and this is just the ticket.

They are up-front about service levels too, like if you expect extra service or support, stop being so cheap.

I still haven't decided if I am gonna try it tho.

For a farting around - don't care too much - 12 bucks is a cheap - very little to lose. I would not USE it for any sensitive sites with personal/sensitive data - like ECOMMERCE. As there is little recourse if they use/sell off your data....or close up shop without notice and you lose valuable data...


However if you have a forum or public personal website/blog -them heck try it.
