Anyone ever used WebHost4Life.com?
I'm looking to host a new ecommerce site and I noticed that WebHost4Life were listed as one of Hosting Catalog's "Best of the Best" (http://www.hostingcatalog.com/besthosts.pl?page=bestofthebest). Has anyone here used them or heard anything good/bad about their products and services?
TIA

unlimited bandwidth is something that does not exist, it is used by certin hosts to lure customers in... usually after they starting using small amounts of bandwidth the host usually causes problems by closing accounts etc... its basically a big scam.
more information available at unlimband.com

Thanks for the comments folks.
I'm interested in finding out what the whole unlimited bandwidth scam is, but the unlimband.com site seems to be down. Anyone have any other links to offer?

as far as I have goten it they have a amount of bandwidth that they think you will not even come close to use and if you do they get ridd of any other place to give you more.....I think it even is so that they are only giving you very litle width the first month to see how much you use....I gues I have goten this all wrong butt that is how I thought it was atleast...
