Everything that is "lifetime" (btw. nonsense) is suspicious

Also it says "shared hosting" and it doesnt give you any guaranteed speed... if I exaggarate it they could get millions of customers and serve them from one Raspberry Pi and it would satisfy the list of what they offer.

There has been many "lifetime" services and they can just end any day and they will tell you it was not financially feasible to continue...

Last but not least - that link times out....  - maybe an indication of the server speed :D

Yeah, they never define 'lifetime' do they?  Yours?  Theirs?  Their goldfish's?

Lifetime in fact is much worse than limited because I bet you somewhere in the T&C there will be "offered as is", whereas if you pay say an annual fee, then in case the service is discontinued or for whatever reason it no longer works, you are eligible for a compensation.

From this perspective it is ideal to say "lifetime" because in such case you would be in a very difficult position as a customer.

Unfortunately we cannot read more because the link is dead :D
