Blessing or Scam? [Kilin]

Posted by Castypher on Oct. 18, 2007, 12:42 p.m.

I found a crazy web host for PHP and MySQL, for those of you qho know about my issue. It's amazing so far, but I really dont know whether or not to trust it. URL? I forget, but my subdomain ends with exofire.com.

X10Hosting, that's their name.

What makes it different?

<li>Completely free - No upgrades, meaning you have the best there is at no charge.</li>

<li>Ad-free or ad-enhances account options, with different amounts of disk spaced and bandwidth.</li>

<li>Free subdomains and domain addons with redirections.</li>

<li>PHP/MySQL hosting with 5 free databases.</li>

<li>NO PERSONAL INFORMATION REQUIRED</li>

Well, it's almost too good to be true. You can't seriously tell me that they're a no-profit organization just giving you the best they can. The thing that caught me: NO PERSONAL INFORMATION. They ask for your email at most. That's all. Nothing else.

What kind of world is this?! Since when are things free? Anyone know about this? This may be my key to finishing the BOPG site, but I don't know how far I should trust it.

Reccommendations?

Also, I found another host that allows you to host other people. You don't have to pay to host 5 or 10 other sites. Wierd…

Well, this is something I would like to figure out. Thanks for any help you may give.

Peace out,

Kilin

Hmm, interesting.

There MUST be a catch, really!

I can host you for free, with the catch being that you don't get CPanel, just FTP and email.

@phazon yoshi: They have paid offers listed elsewhere…

@bendodge: D= But I like the CP…well if you can host PHP, I may look into it.

You don't even have to have the exofire.com on the end. You can have a .co.nr if you Google search Co.nr and sign up.

I know, but they require that I have a site motly finished. No "under construction" sites. Mostly, I need someone to host my site for testing purposes.

It has PHP/MySQL capabilities. 3 MySQL Databases for free.

TWISTERGHOST.COM is a scam!
