Very deceptive offer listed on their site. They show Free site set up - but then charge $25.00 per DLL to register.
I consider registering DLLs for an ASP site as part of the set up. There certainly should not be a charge or it should be clearly stated that you will have to pay...PRIOR to the sign up!
They also list the web space as 6 gB.... but only allow 50 mb for the database... of course you are welcome to add more space for more money. This is another area that should be clearly explained prior to sign up.
Their original charge of $26.95 for the Advanced plan ended up at $56.95 per month with only 2.5 gB of space used.
They have no system to increase your monthly transfer limit if you go over... just won't allow your visitors to access your site.
In today's world, this is totally un-acceptable. Any host worth using should automatically increase your bandwidth to whatever is needed and charge for the extra usage at the end of the month.
I have recently switched to another Hosting company that did indeed set up my site for FREE and the monthly price is 1/2 of what EasyCGI was charging.
I would certainly not recommend this Host... way too many extra fees and hidden limits.
