It's a nice deal (considered moving my MB there until I saw that there's an extra charge for PHP and SQL), but they seem to be really early on, which is going to mean security problems, so pick a password different from anything else you have, and don't put anything _too_ private up. As it is currently, their pseudo-FTP setup has you upload into a public pool, and from there you go into your control panel and pick which of the files are yours, and then it moves them to your account and deletes them out of the pool. You can see where this could go very, very wrong.

Heh, I see what you mean. Weird setup they got there.
 
I did a little more reading, and I believe you can directly upload to your site without the "pool" approach using the web interface, it's only the FTP that's currently a little funky, and they're looking into fixing that. (But again, if they're fixing things like that fast and furious...)
 
I signed up for this, got a email and activated my account.
This morning I just got a email saying

Warning..

You account will be deleted soon...
 
Thanks, I needed something like this after I used too much bandwidth with my 1&1 account and got it disabled (I was stupid and posted a bunch of pictures here during E3 :lol).
