New company taking on GMail?

[vmatador]

A company called Mail2World (www.mail2world.com) is now offering FREE unlimited email storage.

They just sent out a press release about this: http://biz.yahoo.com/iw/050418/084907.html

uh oh, here comes the "unlimited doesn't exist" thread..

 

[frattay22]

You can repeat that again PlexiHosting, unlimited = false advertisement...

 

[PlexiHosting]

Yes it surely is false advertising. The only company I can think of ready to ramp up to a "near unlimited" claim for e-mail would be Google!

 

[contactsonia]

But I must say that it is 'G' who has once again changed the whole Free Mail world. This is what 'G' can do with every industry

G = Google = God of WWW

.

 

[frattay22]

Wouldn't call it a "god" more of a power house than anything right now

 

[darksam]

yup, can't have UNLIMITED for FREE

 

[PlexiHosting]

yup, can't have UNLIMITED for FREE

actually can't pay for unlimited storage either - it doesn't exist. You can keep throwing hard drives into a SAN, etc but you are still limited at some point by something (are there an unlimited amount of SANs and hard drives to put in them? are there an unlimited amount of devices that you can attach to your servers? Is there some sort of "grid technology" that can truly make things unlimited? NO.) I think we will have to find the concrete proof that even the universe itself is not unlimited before people will believe that unlimited storage/resources exist in hosting! lol

 

[frattay22]

true true the term is used to loosely with out reading the TOS

 

[xpressaccess]

Everything has its limits!! (till the fine print is read).........

 

[Zeeblo]

GMail will always prevail!

 

[talkwebhosts.co]

I have to give it to Google. Every server that they use is running Linux that has something to say for big business.

 

[aroca]

at least Gmail is free. And its AJAX based design make it very quick to load everything

 

[Zi Hosting]

There were loads of so called Unlimited Reseller hosting packages on eBay when I was looking. I don't see why they bother, also why people try selling hosting on eBay, its not the greatest hosting customer base. (He says this while he is trying to sell hosting himself )

Saying that something is "unlimited" should be banned. The true term is "unmetered," meaning that the amount of bandwidth used is not measured, but there is still a theoretical limit to how much one may use. But most people with enough common sense realize the difference. It's the people without common sense that have ruined the US court system.

I couldn't agree with you more!

 

[GamePhreak]

On which parts?

 

[gilbert]

So the OP comes in here, mentions this website (which I find to be particularly tacky) and doesn't post anymore.

Anybody think that the poster was spamming?
