    Yeah that does look a little too good to be true.
    Usually you'd be paying around £300 for something like
    that.

    Well, im not sure what the conversion to US would be on that, but usually those yearly plans suck because they try to cram as many suckers as possibly onto one little T1 or T3. Meaning your website will not only load slow, but constantly be down.

    BTW, don't by hosting off Ebay, take my advice on this <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I advise looking around for a place with a phone/fax AND mailing address. Then phone them up and ask questions, if your getting a home answering machine or cell phone voicemail thing, might not be what your looking for.

    How much is that in US? Because I've seen better plans for $4.95/month.

    No, but <a href='http://www.networksolutions.com/cgi-bin/whois/whois' target='_blank'>you can</a>.

    And using netsol, we see that the original registrar was Godaddy.com. And <a href='https://registrar.godaddy.com/whois.asp?isc=&se=%2B&from%5Fapp=&authGuid=' target='_blank'>from there</a>, you can check registration info.

    And many folks have been taught to fish... rock on.
