Is this hosting Legit? Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

Has anybody else seen this website?

They claim to offer:
quote:

Website/Connectivity:

* Hosted on I/O optimized own 1&1 Linux version
* 500 MB web space
* 5,000 MB/month traffic ($0.99 per GB for additional traffic)
* No limits on simultaneous hits/bandwidth
* Protected by firewall
* Continuous backups of your website
* 99.9% Uptime guarantee

For $0.00/month for 3 years...

Google tells me that 1&1 is big... any UK'ers have more information?

My friend just signed up and has a site hosted on there now. Seems like everything is legit to him, and he's pretty experienced with computers.

Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

Hm, If they dont charge anything I wonder where they get their money from? Waiting till their costumers get big enough to break 5gigs traffic / months and life of that? I know 5gigs isnt really that much for a commercial website... but I still wonder

Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations

Well, I've signed up and it's no hassle at all. The process goes something like this:
Give them a valid name, address, and e-mail (it checks the address, you can't use 1234 U R Dumb Ave).
A couple minutes later, you get an e-mail with a link. You click it and enter a valid 10-digit phone number and click "ok". A couple minutes (it was seconds for me), your phone will ring and an automated machine will give you a 4-digit number. You click 'next' on the online form and enter that number. A couple minutes later (they say up to 30), you're up.

Note the absence of credit card info etc.

For now I'm going with .

I think you already have 1&1 where you live, maybe as "1 und 1"?
