Like most of you, I look for deals on eBay, even deals on web hosting. But you know what they say, you get what you pay for and hosting on eBay is exactly that! In my past experiences, I’ve had “companies” go out of business, lack of support, not honoring refund guarantees and more. All bad news if you’re looking for uptime and overall good performance. So in the business of hosting, cheap is not always a good thing. I’ve learned my lesson!

When they say Unlimited or Unmetered hosting, they are lying to you and overselling server space. When you get near that amount, your account will be limited or suspended. They never think that you might actually fill up the space. There are so many gimmicks on eBay, it’s hard to tell which is legit. Most companies promise a lot but in fact are only resellers of larger companies and thats usually bad news for support inquiries.

Lesson Taught: Never purchase services like web hosting from eBay!
