A local webhost offer - question.

And no, I'm not a spam-bot (though You might have thought I was by the impact and importance of most of my posts).

Anyways, to the point.
I have a local webhost who made me an offer, and I'd like to know if it's any good. I mean compared to the world prices.
The price per month converted to USD: 7,41$
The price per month converted to Pounds: 3,67£
What I get for that price:
6GB webspace
160GB bandwitch
Unlimited subdomains, email addresses, mysql databases and ftp users.
Free webpage builder and free domain.

What do You guys think?

That's more space and bandwidth for a lot less money than I currently pay - it sounds almost too good to be true. Are there any strings attached?

Also, consider if you want to do e-commerce, will that host allow that for that cost.

Its not a bad offer for a strictly informative site.

Strings? What do You mean? As for it might look like a fraud?

No, not fraud exactly - just wondered whether there was anything hidden in the small print. Have you read the Terms & Conditions?

I have checked it out under every possible angle. As far as I can see it is what it says it is: A cheap local hosting service.

I pay that (pretty close) for 5GB space and 150GB bandwidth with all the unlimited domains, sql, email, etc. I'd say it's a good price.
