Spammers piss me off. This "host" attempted to spam this site today.
Legitimate businesses don't need to spam, period. They can advertise, yes, but do not spam sites!

This was their thread title:

LeaseDedi - Chep Dedicared Servers - 25+ International Locations - Starting @ € 33
They can't even spell.
"Chep" and "dedicared" servers, huh?

They claim to offer all this:

*USA Servers:*

*Germany Servers:*

*Romania Servers:*
*Netherland Servers:*
*Russia Servers:*
*Lithunia Servers :*
*Luxembourg Servers :*
*Latvia Servers:*

*Panama Servers:*
*Portugal Servers:*
*Africa Servers:*
*Egypt Servers:*
*Sweden Servers:*
*C-Class Seo Servers:*
*DDoS mitigation Proxy e Tunnel Solutions*
I call BS.
The "C-class SEO" servers are the most obvious BS. That's a nonsense term in the hosting world. It's techno-babble.

You need to watch out. This fails my "smell test".

The post came from a BuyVM.net VPS, used as a proxy, so there's no telling where this "business" originates. They're trying to be anonymous.
I have a feeling they'll just steal your money and "do a runner" (disappear) over the long-term. Seen it many, many times.
Hosting is an unsafe business these days, because of low barriers to entry. Any kid, amatuer, or foreigner can pretend to be a "host".

If you want a good/reputable host, refer to our list.
