R8 for 200GB of space, and unlimited bandwidth?! How on earth can that be true?

Well, firstly it's not locally hosted.

Even then, I wouldn't sign up with them. It just seems waaay to good to be true.

Robocop is a classic.

[Koko_Lion]

I love that saying, "You get what you pay for".

Support and downtimes must be fun

[Nuke]

Agreed. Pay peanuts and get monkeys.

"Money Back Guarantee"

So get your whole R8 back. I guess if it is true we are so used to getting screwed in this country that anything that sounds reasonable often is still too good to be true.

Indeed.

Reviews at the bottom. 5 positive and 13 negative reviews. Too bad.

Top ranked hosting sites by another site with reviews. Lots of cheap options there.
