I didn't see their Tel or office address on their website. The only way to contact them is via email, and there is no reply to your email for the last 3 days... What do you think I would say?

Hi Fubu233,
How much files do you intend to store on the server? Do you really need the "unlimited" diskspace?

Let me give you an idea of overselling. I'm sure you've came across Gigabyte Hosting plans in the market that offer you gigabyte storage for the price of less than RM200/year? You may do your research at www.webhostingtalk.com on overselling and I'm sure you will be able to identify the common problems faced when you're hosting with such provider:

1. Sudden storage limitation - You've stored a few hundred MBs in your account but you can no longer upload any file. The other users have filled up the server HDD with their files.
2. Reliability issue - Crowded server, high load and in return gives you more downtime
3. Tech support issue - With such a low price, the provider can hardly earn good money to have the model to hire a team of experienced technician. Not to forget the number of staff he can hire versus the number of clients. It cannot be balanced.

My suggestion to you is:
1. Ask yourself how much storage do you really need.
2. Think carefully for the intention of your web site. Is it a personal or business site?
3. Set a reasonable budget. Always bear in mind that you get what you pay for.


All the best.

Didn't really looks good for me for the word "unlimited"... Unlimited hosting always down, slow or having problem all the time..

[mysticmind]

yeah..
unlimited transfer = unlimited bandwith..

it's a BAD thing all the way..

later gonna be too much downtime, bla bla bla..

[fubu233]

well good news.. the guy replied back today.. actually wat i really wanted to know was dat is there anyone here hosted with them..

michaelfoo> i didnt say i needed unlimited space..
and ur question "How much files do you intend to store on the server" well around over 300mb++... on my current hosting, i have about 7 friends that are hosted with me and i store some of my files on the server also..

just spotted this thread, i had experience with killerbyte, not a good one. one of my site was hosted by them thru a reseller, i couldn't get my subdomains working and they asked me to wait for 48 hours for them to be resolved (which was definitely nonsense), so I contacted them 48 hours later they had nothing to say and kept telling me they're trying to solve the problem, it took another 24 hours before i decided to quit and take back the money (at least they still have 30 days money back guarantee). well i'm not saying their customer service is bad on purpose, but i think their technician isn't professional enough, and sometimes don't know what they are doing.

i come across a web hosting company Websites Sharing in Server > 750 accounts stated on their website

What unbelievable?
