99% off web hosting

[Dindox]

Hey,
Just got a e-mail from my web host offering a 99% off discount on any of their hosting plans (I think it also includes reseller)

Here is the e-mail:

Hello,

Cheers mate. I will have a look at it

For the first month only?

its not working

Even hostgator offers same. These all hosting offers are only for 1 month. If they offer yearly or bi yearly, they have to shut down their company.

if you want 99% for 6 months take a look at http://servinio.com

Ya but I think that would speak a bit for the service... I understand companies selling the first month for 99% like Hostgator, Hosterbox and many other but offering it for 6 months, thats going to mean that the servers will be oversold like crazy since no company can actually afford to offer a decent service for pretty much free for 6 months.

Also the slogan, "We send Godaddy into his mommy" doesn't sound very professional to me, bit sketchy to be honest.

some companies prefer to give something free to the users instead of spending on ads which might never convert into sign ups

Ya I can understand that and thats why they do the whole 99% off thing but for 6 months that must bring in a lot of spammy users, I would hate to be a paying client beside these almost free users on the same server. Its only personal opinion but ya i understand.

yep, I also understand but a spammer could spam with any other host which offers 99% off for one month. Just spam and leave after a few days

Most web hosts make such offers every now and then.

i would not check the offers rather i will check how good they are at providing hosting uptime,customer care ,security etc.They are features you should check before going for anything
