Web Hosting
Stay away from Web hosting deals that sound too good to be true. Why? Well if it sounds too good to be true, chances are it is.
There are too many good Web hosting companies out there trying their best to run a good company. Too many out there to be ruined by one snot nosed brat who thinks he can make a few bucks by telling folks false promises. One of the main reasons I got into Web hosting writing was so that I could warn people about these sort of shifty characters on the Internet.
That is right, not even Web hosting is free of low life scammers who want nothing more than to make a few bucks off of you. Thankfully though for every one low life there are ten good companies that know what it takes to really run a Web hosting business. I was reading around on digg.com the other day and saw that somebody had posted a link in the deals section for an unlimited Web hosting plan. This was nothing new to me since I have seen the word "Unlimited" used over and over in Web hosting marketing. There were a few other things that bothered me though.

The problem with this is, you are "never paying for hosting again!" so there is no future income for the Web host. This is a bad business model, unless you are a big enough company to where you could eat the costs it would take for such a promotional gimmick. That is right, it is a gimmick and nothing else. Do not fall for places that say you can pay an up front price then having hosting forever. In a best case scenario it would be for the life of the Web host, not the life of your Web site.
