Oh well, Looks like we're all safe. But their hosting is crap anyway, I can't host half my
scripts or .exes on there.

Yeah, when I posted this deal last week the mods took it down.


Thanks mods.

Edit: Just noticed someone posted the same deal I already posted. I guess because he's a Donor he gets credit?:hmmmm:

Got the same e-mail, I didn't think it was misleading at all actually. I mean did you actually read number 2.?

"Your account will renew for 3 months (not 3 years) at the rate of $6.99 per month ? you can login to your account and verify this. We will be offering discounts and incentives that will save you additional money. We made this change to help you understand that we are not trying to force you to pay us $250 USD when your account renews in three years."

what is misleading about that?

A side note, the hosting isn't that good but its free so I can't complain. Yesterday my sites weren't loading at various times throughout the day. This plan is perfect for bloggers and the such but I wouldn't use it for a business.

Spend your money else where unless you just want to play around. Even to play around with it has way too much errors, fucking ridicules.

from an email sent to me by hostable

please understand - you are still getting 3 years of free hosting! The only change we made was that you will now renew for 3 months instead of 3 years!

Only the renewal changed. We did not change the initial 3 year free time period.

Many of you did not like that the account would renew for another 3 years after your first 3 years for free. So we changed that to 3 months. Now the renewal is $20.97 usd instead of $250 usd.

I apologize for any confusion this caused.
