has anyone tried the $1-a-yr web hosting on e-bay?

[sciencetoy]

Lots of dudes sell $1/yr web hosting, or other really low cost web hosting, on ebay (type in "web hosting" there for a search).

Anyone ever check it out?

I'm about to, I'll let you know what happens. Gosh, it's a whole $1.

Good Luck, I hope it is everything you expect for a $1. Please don't start a whiny thread when you get fvcked.
(as you said, it's $1)

This actually looks more interesting than the $1 ones.

Search for cyberwings on anandtech.

Found this line in the $1 ones:
"Setup of Fifty Dollars and domain registration charges are not included"

so it is $51 for 10MB of webspace.

Beware of anything that says "unlimited" in a hosting plan; it's a sure sign of an inferior system. Nothing is unlimited. Ask these fools you would like to host your site that gets 10Gig/day of data transfer.
