Thanks guys.

I'm really only looking for a host that can host my personal page (jasonunger.com) that I don't plan on getting a super amount of hits or use a lot of space.

I'll probably end up trying it just to see what its like- I mean, $10 isn't a whole lot for a years worth of hosting.

I don't think it's worth the risk. Go with a proven, low-cost host such as:

http://www.hostmatters.com
http://www.thinkhost.com

Jason, you and I both know how bad it can be when we try a host that is unproven (a.k.a. GeneralHosting).

Two sayings to keep in mind... "You get what you pay for" and "if it sounds too good to be true it probably is"

I find these sayings are correct at least 80-90% of the time.

As you noticed, if you read their "FAQ", you'll find that they do not provide technical support, and you can not upgrade... In other words, if you have a server problem, you're on your own. AND, if there is a problem with the server, there's nothing YOU can do to get it back online because you don't have access to it.

If I were you, I'd look for a more reliable hosting company, unless this is for a personal site that you really don't care too much about.

i'd have to agree, having nobody behind the counter tends to cut costs and service, hehe.
