Take a look at this site: http://www.amhosting.com/

They have a ton of hosting choices and they are so cheap...how can they afford to do that?

Thanks!

I don't know how but if I had money i'd sign up with them! lol Sticking out tongue

On a more serious note, they are probably trying to get more customers or something... :S

The key word if you look at their hosting plans is this No Customer Support

In the few years I've been in the web hosting industry I've seen many web hosts come and go. Usually it's been people looking to make a few fast bucks. They set very low prices, get a few customers to signup for a year and then after 4-5 months their costs catch up with their income and *boom* they're gone.

PS. I'm talking in general and not about this web host. This might and might not be the case here.

Renegade - you aren't kidding, they look good.

Mairving - great eyes. I did not see that. But I do not see that. It says 'excellent customer support'.

Zollet - good points.

I have people tell me about these kind of hosts that offer everything with little price. I always think that 'you get what you pay for'. But I see sooo many hosts that are so inexpensive that I wonder if they are right...
