You could put up a forum because of the unlimited bandwidth too...wow.

How about (excessive) bandwidth?
If the data traffic generated by visitors to your Website exceeds the free 5 GB in a given month, the additional bandwidth is charged at an industry-leading $0.99 per GB. The free traffic allowance is typically sufficient for a high 5-digit number of visitors.

It's not unlimited but it's interesting !

Where's the real big catch ?

i actually spent all day looking for the catch...and can't really seem to find one..

They say they are soo confident in their service that after you sign for the FREE 3 years, you'll resign with them,

and you can cancel anytime...even during the free trial...

Yup i caught that later egerie, Although your 4th year it costs you $50

I think this is to promote building small business' and using them as the host.

Still I cant help but want to find the catch.

To be honest folks, I havn't found a catch. I found this (well, I suppose my brother found it) about a month or two ago, and I went and signed up. It's been reliable since I signed up and really great for being free. After I signed up my dad signed up, then my sister, and now my brother wants some. :D

I'm not sure about the catch but it might be a pretty good idea. New Businesses starting out can claim a loss for the first 3 years of business without throwing up any flags for IRS. So If you think about it, with all of these people signing up, my guess is that they are gambling with the idea that the majority will stay on in 3, then they have a jump-- as compared to a new business starting out charging its customers.

Just a thought.
