Not for that price, no. But what I've found to be true, especially with
respect to webhosting, is you get what you pay for. I used Pair for a year,
then moved to a company for a year that offered "more for less". I moved
back right after that year was up.
When you shop for something like webhosting based almost solely on price,
you usually go with the cheaper provider - and you usually get the cheaper
service.
Heck, with the prepayment discounts Pair offers you could get their advanced
account with cgi-bin and SSI for just a little more than this company you're
talking about - I'd even help make up the difference to help prevent you
going with a company you admit you know nothing about other than they're cheap.
I also think it is odd that this place is offering essentially $8/mo service
on NT/IIS. Dan and I were looking into IIS/SQL providers earlier this year
and they're usually MORE expensive across the board than Unix-based
providers (and why not - they have to pay a *fortune* to license the stuff
for use on the web). That this place is IIS-based and on the ultra-low end
suggests corners are probably being cut.
If you're totally sold on NT/IIS webhosting I'd ad least go with a proven
company like Interland. Just have fun with their pricing. :)
