iP01 - Anyone ever heard of them? FREE Premium hosting offered to me...

"iP01's Premium Web Hosting Service"

Was offered to me for FREE for 6 months via email. They said that FixedHomeRates.com was selected as a premium domain and they would like to offer me Premium Hosting for 6 Months....

Who are they? Anyone ever dealt with them or have even heard of them?

Spam, you should just delete spam, not discuss about it here

Maybe it's spam in terms of how I got the note... but if these guys are SCAMMERS and not just SPAMMERS, I think we should all know about it.

Don't you?

6 Months of FREE Premium Hosting IS very tempting... I want more than that though if I'm going to give it a try. I also want more than just pure speculation before I decide NOT to try.

Not really. I received their offer 4 years ago when I registered my new domain for about a week. They really provided me the hosting needed for 1 year. Then the fun part comes at the end of 1 year, they suspend my account and urge me to renew my hosting plan, or they will not let me access. Thank god I have backups of everything. They are ip01.net, and they give these offers to newly registered domains randomly.

I still remember it very clearly today.
