    Edit: And I would imagine that after they get a few people signed up, they'll be forced to close/edit the account and the deals. I can't see any reason they could realistically continue with this sort of offer, and either make profits or not make substantial losses.

    Well, it's pretty limited. This is probably just making use of any spare space or bandwith they have kicking around, also, it's an amazingly good PR stunt. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I'll bet word of this offer has spread to everyone with a modem. Netrulon can't possibly live up to its offers if many people sign up for this. Like esuna said, this is probably some PR stunt.

    public relations

    and a PR stunt is when a company, group, or individual, etc does something really weird, strange, outrageous, exciting etc to attract media or public attention to themselves for what ever reason.



    ex Flayra wants the whole world to know about the upcoming release of NS2.

    So he hires all of us loyal forumites to run around the streets of new york city wearing TSA armour and Fade Costumes so we can stage mock battles on the city streets etc.

    THAT WOULD BE AWESOME.

    We could enlist random passerby. Give the fades plastic hangers ofr claws, and when they hit you, you're out. And marines can only walk, they can't run. The Marines would get Paintball guns, though. Or maybe Airsoft. IT WOULD BE ABSOLUTE OWNAGE!

    Getting back ontopic <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    This isnt the first free webhosting offer I've seen recently. I signed up for a similar deal a few days ago and so far it's working quite well.

    I can't see how it's viable, and I sure as hell not going to switch to a paying account, but I'll enjoy the freeness while it's available <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    1&1 did a similar deal to this about 5 months back, and it was legit. This probably is too.

    woot then, looks like doomaniac.com just got a mirror :D

    p.s. I just signed up so... apparently you can sign up. Account is activated too.

    Viva doomaniac.netrulon.com

    [edit]
    I must say, this site is quite nice. Their control panel is the best I've seen yet. Decent speed.
    [/edit]

    [edit2]
    The way this is set up, it can be 100% for files if you want. You can even keep it all w/ anonymous FTP and not even have a web page if you wish.

    1&1 doesn't give you as much GB xfer a month though, and I've actually hit the limit before w/ doomaniac.com, so now I got a nice mirror for when that happens. :)

    Or something else altogether....
