    I thought maybe they were being clever about running such a tight ship that they don't have to work hard to keep it that way. You know: "We don't have to hire 300 admins because our systems just work."

    Then I read:

    Sometimes, there might be a glitch in the system that needs fixin'. We'll get it fixed. Really. Eventually.
    Huh.

    EDIT: Oh, the rest is pretty good, too. Their privacy policy:

    Second Rate Hosting only collects identifiable information about our customers when they volunteer such information (like on our sign up forms, etc). We won't sell your information or transfer it to any third parties. We are not the partying types.

    ...

    We do monitor customer usage of our services for the purpose of discovering what is boring and what is not. Some say this is so we can deliver better service. We say it's because boring stuff sucks.

    What's sad is that this moronic marketing campaign they have will probably drive alot of suckers to their services. Some people just like abuse and will even pay for it.

    After reviewing their site and their style of marketing, I wouldn't touch them with a ten foot pole. I found their presentation unprofessional, sarcastic and the smell of "we don't give a crap" attitude. I don't see how anyone who needs quality hosting would use these people with the way they present themselves.

    heh, surely you're joking just as much as they are? They're what's known as 'taking the piss' out of all the other insane claims others spurt forward. I find it pretty damn refreshing and funny... but I probably wouldn't host with them all the same

    ROTF LMAO. I think they're very clever. Had a good laugh reading their FAQ.
