Obviously this entire thread was a ploy to get people to go look at
this freeservers place from the very beginning.
But for those of you who may not realize that and may be believing
this bunk, let me set the record straight.

Since when? I have a true RaQ4R (not i) with dual hard drives, RAID
mirroring - the works. For $199 per month.
I don't know where you're getting this $389 figure but it just isn't
true.
And what's this about *only* 100GB per month? Try getting that
included elsewhere. You can't. You'll be paying out the nose for your
bandwidth.

You get 4 IPs for free at 4WebSpace, and for a block of 30 IPs you're
only going to pay $10/mo. That's 33 cents per IP; which I still have
yet to see another company beat. So yes, you're paying for IPs... a
whopping total of 33 cents each. If that's gonna break your bank, I
suggest you take a look at the $5/ip that other hosts are charging...
or get out of the business right now.
Besides, most of the users on this list are doing virtual hosting, so
the 4 free included IPs will be more than enough for their needs.

Correction: ChiliSoft is already installed on the RaQ4 when you get
it, as is PHP. These cost you nothing.
The charge you are speaking of there is to install those on a RaQ3 -
and since you're comparing this RaQ4i over at freeservers, let's not
make freeservers look better by suddenly changing the 4WebSpace RaQ
model in the middle of the comparison to make 4webspace look more
expensive.
MySQL is also a free download from the Cobalt site, it installs with
the mere pasting of a URL into your GUI and the click of a button.
Anyone who pays to have it installed on their RaQ4 - well, they must
not have done much research before they decided to buy their RaQ.
Also, I must mention that 4WebSpace is running a special - they'll
install PHP, MySQL, and phpMyAdmin onto your RaQ for $199 total.
All of the above are one-time fees, not recurring monthly crap.

This is a complete and total lie, just like the $389 figure you quoted
above. 4Webspace's prices are:
$99/mo for a RaQ3i
$199/mo for a RaQ4r - which is better than the 'i' model you'll be
getting at efreespammers. Check the data sheets on a 4i and a 4r and
see what hardware/software is included.

Yes, please do. See for yourself how this email was full of untruths
and completely misleading information; and how it was meant to lure
people over to efreespammers.
For the record, both the person who posted all of this untrue bs and
efreespammers (like my new name?) are in my permanent 'delete without
even looking at it' filter.
Take your pseudo-advertising spam elsewhere.
