Really slow on the draw here - but the problem with those kinds of superlow prices for hosting isn't that it's impossible to provide hosting at that level, but rather that it's completely possible to throw up a computer with an ethernet connection for that price and impossible to support it when you start using up resources or something goes wrong. "Unlimited" bandwidth/space is really just *unmetered*, with no artificial limits; you might as well say that a $300 celeron desktop gives you "unlimited" CPU/RAM, because it's just as silly and meaningless.

In the end, you're gambling with unknowns. Sure, most of the time you may not get burned, but in the long run you get burned enough to make it not worth it. To say it's "real" within 24 hours of signing up on their service is lolworthy.
