I just ran across this website that's offering free hosting for three years. According to their site (which looks pretty legit) they're a large host for large companies, and they're moving into the small time host business.

I signed up, if they stick around for three years it's a doggon good deal. Take a peek at /order.1and1.com/xml/stat...ofessional

After I signed up I got a confirmation message saying I'll get an email with instructions on how to activate my account. One of the things will require my telephone number, so all you young'uns better get your parents permission before signing up.

Why do I find something about this suspicious...

Could be. Most free hosting is just a scam.

ALot of the people Ive shown this to already have heard about it, but I signed up for it, cuase the 2 year plan I have now sucks, and it seems legit enough. No one else knows of any strings attached to it...

Just looking over their site makes me think it's legit. You don't usually develop a site like that for a scam.
