Not a client whatsoever. I don’t have an account with them - Never heard of them at all. I don’t have my own website.
Not sure why I’m getting this, and why I had an “unsubscribe” link sent to me. As I said - I don’t have an account with them AT ALL. Never received an email prior to this with login info or just general content. 99% positive this is some kind of scam.
I always question free hosting, as nothing is really free in this world. I would check their TOS and Privacy policy. They are most likely selling data about you, your visitors, and the content on your sites to cover infrastructure costs. Normal businesses and smart people do not use free hosting services.
I did find this article on them too from 2021
Byethost Free Webhosting review | TechRadar
Their biggest gripe was they has no support for issues with your site, so yeah they may be a real company but suck at the service provider part lmao
Also found this too: ByetHost Review 2022 – Is It Worth It? (websiteplanet.com)
I tested it too and was able to build a WordPress site http://lindaroberts.synergize.co/
just an addition to this, this is their parent company
Web Hosting, Domain Registration, Dedicated Server, VPS Server (ifastnet.com)
Thanks for the comments, very helpful. As I said, never heard of them so wtf etc? What data - for starters - can they possibly have? Except an email address I suppose. Probably randomly typed in an address and sent off this shit thinking their smart. Ha, no chance!
From what I see online:
Byethost and InfinityFree both powered by iFastNet (in 2018) Cloudflare, DNS, Byethost, SSL. - Hosting Support - InfinityFree Forum (source)
I have used InfinityFree and still am for some crappy website that is a joke. I wouldn’t say it’s a scam, I’d just say this is email marketing. However, someone can sign up and figure it out if they want.
if you sign up they can grab data about your visitors, you login, website content, etc.
No wonder it’s free then… Nothing is ever free online for the most part, open source software etc. that is but things like social media need to get money from somewhere and that’s yours and others data.
Never have as I said before, never will!!
