I asked this before, but no one answered. While I think their marketing
strategy is great (giving away free hosting, waiting until you get settled
and then start charging in a couple of years), I'm wondering if they are
targeting the wrong market. They aren't low-budget/cheap hosting - but are
inadvertantly targetting people looking for free hosting.

I notice that many of you are pointing out things that are slow or
annoying...but then go on to say "but its free". How many of you are
planning on keeping your account with them, after they start asking you for
$29 per month? If not, would you be more inclined to stay with them if
their pricing was in tune with, say, a tera-byte, Dixiesys or aussiehost?
