100mb free, no ads? What's the catch?

http://www.1asphost.com/
I wanna start using that, but I'm afraid it'll turn my website into a pr0n link after it starts getting a lot of hits. Heheh, that happened once. Does anybody know if it's safe to use. It sounds too good to be true, that's why I'm suspicious. 100mb free, unlimited bandwidth?? and NO ADS???! That's crazy, but is it real??

If it is real, I doubt it will last for any long period of time.

A lot of hosting sites will give really good deals, but once your site starts to generate traffic, all of a sudden they will turn around and either flood your site with ads, or charge you up the wazoo to continue using the webspace.

Well... for only $5.00 a month, you can have 200 Megs of webspace, 4 gigs of bandwidth, and unlimited FTP, E-mail, Forums, Chatrooms, etc. It comes with C-Panel, MySQL, Perl, PHP, PHPChat & Forums, as well as a whole onslaught of great services, and the guy who owns the site is amazingly friendly, and will help you to the ends of this earth with his server. He's a great guy, and a good friend of mine, and he occassionally visits massassi!

Make sure you mention me, that is, if you do decide to join up.

The more you plan on spending (10, or 15) the more you get! He's even flexible enough to make a seperate plan designed for you!

Great Service, Great Offer, Great Idea!

OK, I'm done spamming.

You just have to read the TOS, and they'll have lots of stuff in really small print down at the bottom.

It's Out-Post.net [http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif]

And I really don't feel like going on my usual rant about profitability and Server Rental costs etc.

Suffice to say: If they maintain those yearly prices and have a fairly large Paid Tech support team, I'm having a bit of trouble seeing how they can stay in business... Expect prices to rise as financial crisis nears [http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif]
