No, I didn’t say this “isn’t a nice site”. I said it’s “suspicious as hell”.
Having a working site and a navigable “About Us” page isn’t “nice”. It’s the bare minimum I would expect of any legitimate nice or ugly site.
There’s just a lot on their site that reeks of sloppy scammers.

either waymy suggestion was to find a deal that suits your needs at low end talk over trying to self host anything otherppl will be accessing from your home, you wont find good deals just googling around, or even on reddit

but thats the exact issue, the businesses with clean perfect sites tend to be the scams, while these where you need specific links off a forum like lownendtalm to even access the deal work well and are hella cheap in comparison? Racknerds also been great but way less resources, their deals also never go away if you get a link.

Three incoherent replies with jumbled run-on sentences.
Uhhh, no. Objectively no. A legit website is not going to have spelling mistakes and broken links. Looking professional and thorough is a direct lead to increased business. What you just said is completely false, and frankly idiotic.
Everything else you said (in all three replies) is just a jumbled mess of a brain dump that I’m not even going to try and address any of it.

well, i have a lot of stuff running on it fine for the last 3 months, and lowendtalk is what I trust, I made a thread there asking about it and ppl trusted them.
You use a virtualizer panel and they provision from cogent, its pretty straightforward what you’re getting and you can stress test it or whatever? Do you only trust the major players like digital ocean, aws, etc.?
