 | Globat.com BAD BAD In My Opinion
I've posted this many times may as well post it here. Globat.com is bad because:
- Offer always ending in 2 hrs, rushes newbs to sign up, without reading the T.O.S. or searching for more options in order to take advantage of this amazing deal. This is plain dirty business and they've been doing it for years.
- T.O.S. states a filesize limit of 10MB. This is the only host I've seen do this.
- T.O.S. states only half of the transfer may be used by non .html files including pictures. Only host I've seen do this.
All in all, who really reads a whole TOS when signing up? It's all the same, except for these guys, who throw in little bits of crap like this. Who knows what other strings are attached through the T.O.S.
Stay away from this host. That's my opinion. |

| Globat doesn't seem all that great. I'd rather go with Powweb. I registered a domain with their sister site and they ripped me off. Their offers always say that they end in a number of hours but they actually rotate the ad. Crap host  | |
