They seem to have some pretty restrictive Terms of Service, but they have some intresting prices. However, some of these seem a bit off:

Reseller Account #4
$35/month
25gigs of space
25gigs of bandwith.

Semi-dedicated box
$35/month
20gigs of space
350gigs of bandwith

That's 5 gigs less in space but 14x more bandwith. Some of this doesn't seem to make sense.

Anyone use them or hear anything about them?

The storage it's huge.

I've checked them out before too, but they have a TOS that prevents me from using them. The fact that they won't allow any kind of adult material at all voids my 18+ area of my forum, and I'd rather not have to bend my own site around just for the host like that. Kooshin won't allow mp3 files which screws up my music site ("my" as in the music I make)...which I was going to power with XOOPS but it's a bit of overkill for the site. Using XOOPS on my personal music site would be like killing an ant with a hydrogen bomb.

Right now I'm under Surpass Hosting's 1st reseller plan...$10 a month, 3 gigs of space.

I'm also using my friend Mike's hosting for my forum/image host. $10 a month, gig of space, 25 of bandwith, plus him there in case i need something specific.

I switched from Hostonic to Surpass Hosting a few months ago because Hostonic has horrible service. I was going to use eboundmedia but they took my $4 and never activated my account, never answered my emails, and deleted all of my support tickets.

Yeah, see that's my problem. My site can potentially be a resource killer, so I need somewhere that I can grow with someone who I trust to be able to manage the system properly. This guy does this type of stuff for a living, so I'm pretty confident leaving it on his site. Besides, he runs a similar site, xmike.com, but uses his own code. We've had hundreds of users online at the same time in the forum alone, which doesn't count the tons of people who were viewing the image rating parts of the site. He's good like that

However, I'm looking into getting a dedicated box eventually. Too bad no one has used Kooshin..well, so far atleast.
