This is from the ShoeMoney Media Group website. Is this really worth $5000 a month, when I can get almost unlimited hosting from 1and1 for only under $3...
lol

Well, if you consider the fact the domain has only been registered 4 years and they are hosted at the planet, I would say no.

Good old Shoemoney. Never misses an opportunity to screw someone.

He also misspelled "guarantee."

That sounds stupid honestly. You can buy your own server for that money and 100% uptime is near impossible. This sounded like a scam as soon as I saw the name but now I've read it I do believe it is a scam rofl.

I wouldn't believe the hype of the ad. What I'd like to know is how they can gaurantee 100% uptime. It's like the Easter bunny and Santa Clause--figments of the imagination.

And $5,000 per month? Sadly, someone who has no idea what he/she is doing is going to get taken.

$5000 per month? That's pretty insane. Even with 100% uptime (which I highly doubt is possible) it still wouldn't be worth it. You can buy your own server that will give you way more bandwidth than what they offers. I think that is pretty insane. I suggest you don't go with it.

Haha.. joke! If you want premium dedicated server, get one from rackspace @ 10% of what they charge. It looks more like a scam to me

Just as long as you have a nice website you can pretty much charge anyone anything with web hosting. And now I see that you can also lie about anything.

I thought it was simply missing a decimal point. It probably should have been $50.00 at least that is what I thought until the comment about it being pricey. What a LOSER.

Well even if they get one client dumb enough to signup every year, that would be good enough for them!

He makes a freakin fortune via arbitrage and some blackhat stuff like cloaking. Like him or not, he has some mad skillz. Even if he didn't, there are enough suckers in the world to grossly overpay him for hosting backed by questionable guarantees and a name they have probably never even heard of. Big corporations couldn't care less about trying to figure out how much webhosting is supposed to cost, especially when even $5k is a drop in the bucket. I'm thinking I need to buy a few servers and start my own hype machine.
