Something every prospective board owner should be wary of.

[Michael Morris]

Overselling.

GoDaddy and Dreamhost are two of the most famous practitioners, but many hosts do it. Beware of it when starting a board, especially a vb board where when you've dropped $160 or so on the software only to have the board tossed off the server by the host with the phony cry of 'vbulletin uses too many resources!'

To which I honestly reply that 'It wouldn't be a problem if you were honest about your server plans.'

It's a widespread industry problem that to-date the Federal Trade Commission has done nothing about. It is, flat out, false advertising. So remember the old adage - if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is.
