    CIHOST.com - too good to be true?

    They offer a dedicated server for 99$ per month (Well, if you pre-pay for a year. 119$ per months if you pay quaterly) with the following:

    Single Intel Celeron 2.4 GHz
    512 MB DDR2100 RAM
    80 GB ULTRA ATA/133
    100 MBps Intel Ethernet Adapter
    8 IP Addresses (Unlimited domains with name-based hosting)
    3000 GB Transfer Per Month

    CIHOST dedicated unix hosting

    Is that cheap or what? If you have 10MBIT dedicated and you use 100% of it for a full month that's 3000GB

            Yes it is possible. At ideal bandwidth, I can get you $18 per Mbps on a P4 1ghz connection

                    Hello... I'd just like to throw in my .2 cents about CIHOST.

                    I had a server with them over a year ago and canceled because I could host a more stable server at my house on residential dsl.

                    1 year later they send a collections agency after to pay another year's fee's. This is AFTER I had cancelled my contract.

                    I argued with them on the phone for well over an hour about this. They refused to back down and I'm now forced to pay over 500 dollars for something I never had.

                    I could go into detail but I think everyone already knows to stay away from this company.

                      What do you mean you are forced to pay 500$?

                      Don't pay, that's all. Do you seriously think they are going to take you to court for 500$ dollars. And if they are stupid enough to do it, they will lose.

                          I sued CIHost in small claims court several years ago to break the contract and I won.

                            It's a quote from webhosting talk ...
