Do note that their web hosting (xrea) is done out of someone's
apartment and not a real data center.  That's why it is so cheap.

Xrea's email and ftp broke earlier this year (for a large portion
of users who hosted there, paid or free) and it took them 2 weeks to fix
it.

That said, you probably can't find anything cheaper that also lets you
run scripts/use php/mysql/postgresql etc.  So for personal/demostration
use they are okay, but I won't bet a business on them.  (And don't
forget to backup your data!)
