It doesn't look like this company has much of a history. It can't be said if they are really reliable or not. Also, what our host provides right now is good enough for what J2O needs.

I thought you were seriously running out of space...

Though a definite reliable company would be better.

Warning flags abound. First of all, the bandwidth is listed as "huge". That does not mean anything and is a potential major loophole. Second of all, the Terms of Service are still under construction. I do believe it is illegal to not have them posted. Also, the company lacks a BBB record of any type and only returns 17 hits on Google. This looks like a mix of an unexperienced hosting service and a scam. I'd avoid it.

True, but this server is hosted by another server that has been up since Early 1990's. You have to think that they know how to do the servers right, and this has been offered for about a month now. Check out the other sites hosted there, there should be a listing.

Does that mean you could decrease the minimum search word length to three now?

First of all, if they have existed as a company since the early 1990's, they would have a BBB file. If they are hosting with another company's server, wouldn't the other company be less expensive than them? They have to make a profit. Also, twelve Google results is far, far, far too few for any company. With no record of the company existing, no contact information beyond email, and no privacy policy, this is one shady hosting service.

You utterly missed my point, but found another one.
