The price/offering ratio seems a bit too good to be true, but at least they've been recommended by a fellow over at ASP.NET. 'Course, that guy could always be a shill... ;-)

Well, with ISPs it's often you get what you pay for. Also you have to look at long-term - prices may be cheap on signup but get higher as you go. However, looking at the competition etc. I think that pricing for .Net hosting seems to be very low - these guys are obviously banking on volume and that's good for us... <g>
