Proceed with caution, their whois record states:
Registrant:
SeHost.net
a
a a a
United States -- US

Administrative:
sehost.net - sehost@yahoo.com
a
a a a
United States -- US
a

That combined with their domain being registered in January of this year should throw up caution flags. I won't say they're a bad host because I know nothing about them but they use a Yahoo email address so apparently they don't trust their own email hosting, they have a fake address on their whois, and their domain was just registered. I think you're better off if you keep looking.

Well what happens when they want their invoice/confirmation for purchasing the domain? They have to use a 3rd party email provider and since Yahoo is an established company, it's not like your going to lose your email address in the next few years.

But I must agree with the fact it looks a little off all them a's in the admin details, obviously they never had a clue what they was doing ! :)

Sure they knew exactly what they were doing! Hiding their contact details! When one registers a domain, they are expected to put in their contact info. The fact that these guys didn't would indicate that they were not to be trusted.

If they are a host and have a domain I would expect to put it in, if a domain is solely for personal uses and not business usage I wouldn't expect the address to be in. I would also expect a business to have an office, and not be one run out of somebody's garage, like many of these low cost hosts.

Well I expect a PO or APO box number in there.
