So you get 300MB, 10GB b/w, 5 mysql databases, ftp, ssi, php, and apparently many other bells and whistles since they are using ensim. There probably is no filesize limit as well as file type restrictions either, knowing Livin4. How long till this goes down guys :biggrin2:

Quite a long time. They want CC/PayPal information, etc. Not many people want to give that out for a free trial.

Was hoping someone wouldn't catch that

I actually might pay for that plan, all of that bandwidth mmmmmn

Paying to activate for a free trial is stupid. The user should decide whether to pay after 30 days

If they don't make people pay then users can abuse the system for 30 days and then sign up again after sometime. Few abusers would be willing to give out a credit card number so it prevents them from signing up.


On a side note I put your quote in my sig.

You think your post is stupid? Go you

I think i'll give 'em a mail about that charge to activate

Well, you shouldn't have to PAY for a FREE trial. This should be moved into paid hosting.

you mean this post should be moved into other forums

i feel they offer free space just want to show their service,but if they del all the free account, the customers will not trust their service completely as what they do.

Thus I'm e-mailing Livin4 about their activation fee. Maybe it was a mix up? Whatever the case, I'm going to find out what is with them
