bah, I bit. After I made my previous post they updated their original post and listed 3 plan 1's available. Hopefully I won't regret this.... I'm skeptical after being shafted by cyberwings.

You and me both but I'm gonna bite as well...You going paypal?
 
Well if anything happens $10 bucks is no biggy for me. Blockbuster has ripped me off that much in late fees 😛 I should have gotten the $20 plan while I was talking to the guy on AIM lol b4 they checked the orders.

Oh well I'll just say I minimized my potential losses.
 
Don't worry, they have been doing these "specials" since June or something. And the same plans keep costing less and less.
 
I jumped on the #3 setup at about 12:30am my time (6:30pm for you east coasters)... They got my $20 so i hope i get an account...

I paid via 2checkout. I received my welcoming e-mail a few min ago, nothing out of the ordinary. I have another website hosted with another company and am already familiar with the ensim control panel. will take a while for the nameservers to propagate. Only problem I can forsee is the company possibly going kaput soon.

If you're hosting anything that is at all important -- like, say, your main e-mail account -- please, please, PLEASE understand that you get what you pay for. A year ago, people thought $19.95 a month for hosting was a good deal. Now, it's got to be 99 cents a month. Bandwidth costs haven't changed for these hosts -- their business models are largely the same. So, you need to think long and hard whether these hosts can sustain prices like that.

I'm not saying you have to spend a fortune.

That's what I don't understand...during the whole Cyberwings fiasco (of which I too was a victim) people kept saying "well if he steals my money, it's only $5, or $10, etc.". The point isn't how MUCH he took, but the fact that he STOLD MONEY FROM PEOPLE! I lost over $50 from him. I'm sure many lost more than that. If it were $1 it would still be theft.

LOL that was just my way of rationalizing in case something does happen. I was never planning on getting a host for my site. I just wanted a hostwith php and mysql so I could practice with. A $10 loss isn't too bad if I can pick up a new skill.
 
Weird, when I put my DNS info:

Primary DNS Server Hostname: aries.f-c-t.com
Primary DNS Server Address: 216.127.72.69

Secondary Name Server Hostname: gemini.f-c-t.com
Secondary Name Server Address: 216.127.72.179

into godaddy(Nameserver 1,2,3,4) I get:

Invalid domain name extension: 216.127.72.69
Invalid domain name extension: 216.127.72.179

Am I doing something wrong? 😕
 
i got my confirmation late yesterday night, a scant 6 hours (i think, prolly a little more) after i signed up
i got special 3, paid through 2checkout
havent moved my dns from the old cyberwings to manlius yet though
