Too Good to be true?

These guys here have to be too good to be true. I mean honestly. Forcium Hosting

They are offering 80GB reseller for 6.89 a month as their lowest reseller plan.

After talking to them on live support it appears the servers are located here and they currently only have one server up but are working on placing more servers.

They have only been open about a month so might be risky to move there.

Anyways I'm sure they are overselling.

Try viewing it with a proxy.

Anyways I've been researching them for a while and they aren't somebody I would feel comfortable with having them host anything more than a personal blog site or something.

They appear to have shared servers and reseller plans all on the same single server that they have up atm.

There is no way they can fulfill all those services they are offering on one single server.

They would have to get up multiple servers like ASAP to avoid going under once they started to fill up.

working fine for me (from Turkey at the moment).

Gah! I was hoping for more input on this before now.

Oh well that's what I get for hoping.

Btw I'm not planning on switching there however I did think about moving one of my extra domains there just to see the uptime for fun.

I think I'm the only one who goes to work to work, and come here in my free time (and even during my holidasy).
