How exactly are they paying me??

Isn't this "Register.com will waive the hosting fees"?

[DealMan]

Register.com charges about double the average rate for Domain name registrations.

Go to http://www.powerpipe.com and register your domain name for $8 then go to http://www.1dollarhosting.com and get the site hosted for $12/year. $20 for a fully functional site for a year.

Just a friendly warning about cheap hosting: I signed up for one year with coolwebhosting.com, which was $100 per year for 50MB and unlimited bandwidth. Now that's not the cheapest hosting, but it's pretty darn inexpensive.

Last Friday (the 13th), they pulled the plug and closed the doors. All sites hosted by coolwebhosting are down and the servers are inaccessable. I have heard of one company who not only lost several days of traffic on their e-commerce site, but lost their customer database as well.

So if you are going with cheap hosting, make sure you keep a local backup of the files, because when they go under, you probably will not get any advance notice.

ROFL Expert Hosting is down now. ;)

Send me $40 (cheaper than expert) and I will fail to host your site also :-)
