Has anybody heard of

http://www.freepgs.com/

Sounds too cheap to stay in bussiness. But they have their own forum and it's not a dead site at least.

Thanks,

I don't think its worth explaining the unmetered bandwidth to you. Do some research around here and you will quickly learn. I also wouldn't trust anything thats "One-Time" payment.

One-time payment?

I would not go with any host that has its customers pay one time. Dedicated servers are usually paid for monthly, and it would seem like it would be hard to pay the bills with a one-time payment.

Unmetered bandwidth!

This forum has enough articles about that. It simply is not good for you or the host. Bandwidth is something that hosts need to pay for and I am certain that FreePgs.com would not be able to offer a large site the amount of bandwidth it needs.

I wonder why the support forums seem like they are so filled up.

Two red flags in their TOS:

Pity that hosting companies are actually allowed to do things like that. It should be blaitantly illegal.

I agree with you. There are limits to everything, and it's unfortunate that the limits are discovered by unsuspecting users after they have already paid for their hosting fees.

There is a difference between unlimited and unmetered though - but in this case this host doesn't seem very trustworthy.

They don't look trustworthy to me.
