Unix or Windows Web Hosting - $6.95 / Month
Recommendation: Avoid
Infinology is a perfect example of what to watch out for in low cost web hosting. Although they promise tons of features, which look very appealing at face value, their poor server availability and slow pageloads tell a completely different story. We've setup accounts with them, and although the setup procedure goes well, our websites would error on loading, time out, or simply load incredibly slowly. This continued on through a testing period of over three months, so their server stability problems are not a temporary problem.
Also, the low cost of $6.95 per month is offset by a non-refundable $50.00 setup fee. That has to be one of the largest setup fees in the hosting industry. One has to ask themselves how almost all the other low cost hosting providers out there have no setup fee, and yet Infinology needs to charge $50.00 to setup accounts. And they won't refund that fee when you find out how bad their service is.
