Thanks for the reply. Sorry my spam offended you, and anyone else on the list who took offense, it wasn't meant to. Some people were interested so I took a risk.

It'd be a risk alright. The site claims "Dedicated Servers Australia is a wholly owned subsidiary of Australia's oldest Web Hosting company - WebHost Australia. Founded in March, 1995, WebHost was the first Australian company to create a specialized service that dealt solely with web hosting. In fact, we defined the industry by coining the term web hosting."

There is no such business name (DBA) or company registered in Australia. Webhosts Australia was registered as a business name in 1999 - if it is the same firm (not company) it was registered four years later than claimed. If they lie about this, what else? Caveat Emptor. Time for a call to the ACCC with a printout of all these claims. Also no mention of who you'd be dealing with and no ACN/ABN numbers. Highly illegal.
