It is very important for you to read the TOC & AUP of the web host carefully when you're signing up for their services, especially when you believe that they are overselling their services. Yes, such providers are just nice for personal web sites but when it comes to mission critical web sites, I seriously hope that one should expect to pay a little more. I still remember two years back when a hosting client wrote an article to The Star, blaming ALL the local web hosting providers simply because he said that ALL local hosting providers are not reliable. The main point is, he did not mention how much he paid for the hosting provider. He must have expected too much from the provider. As to giga hosts' reliability, only time can tell, seriously. If you're an active member in any web hosting forum, you'll realise that since the past few years, there are many oversellers who end up revising their packages back to something normal or they cease their operation when their servers are no longer able to sustain the growth of the web sites hosted. Thank you! Hi boringest,

As to giga hosts’ reliability, only time can tell, seriously.

Thank you!

The difference here is how they manage the server load. Some cheap hosts out there are still pretty reliable, and if you're a blogger and just doing this for fun, do you think you would wanna pay for the extra reliability (0.1-0.2% extra) which you don't really need?

Comparing their Shared Hosting and Virtual Dedicated packages, seems that they do oversell their shared hosting server: Shared Hosting: 5GB storage for $14.95 Virtual Dedicated: 4GB for $49.95 Thanks!

But the question would be, are they for real or are they good cause of extent of word-of-mouth?
