So I was looking for some dirty cheap web hosting in USA, and was messaging Francisco (owner of Frantech solutions) who offered 1gb for 8 USD per YEAR.
And then a guy messages me on Reddit that he can give me 512 mb for 5 USD per MONTH and says the servers are located in Los Angeles. I asked for a link to check the speed and he sends me a link. Turns out it's from Francisco's servers! :roflmao:

In other words the Reddit guy offered me half the space for an 8 times higher price from the same server!
I don't call it cheating or scamming though because that's how reselling works, and the reseller cannot always sell the whole amount he buys for resale. So he has to keep a certain high margin to keep things going. But I am still smiling that I messaged Francisco straight away:):)

(Remembered this old joke. Copy pasted.)

It was autumn, and the Indians on the remote reservation asked their new
Chief if the winter was going to be cold or mild.
Since he was an Indian Chief in a modern society, he had never been
taught the old secrets, and when he looked at the sky, he couldn't tell what
the weather was going to be.

Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, he replied to his tribe that the
winter was indeed going to be cold and that the members of the village
should collect wood to be prepared.

But also being a practical leader, after several days he got an idea. He
went to the phone booth, called the National Weather Service and asked, "Is
the coming winter going to be cold?"

"It looks like this winter is going to be quite cold indeed," the
Meteorologist at the weather service responded.

So the Chief went back to his people and told them to collect even more wood
in order to be prepared.

One week later he called the National Weather Service again. Is it
going to be a very cold winter?" he asked.

"Yes," the man at National Weather Service again replied, "it's going to be
a very cold winter."

The Chief again went back to his people and ordered them to collect every
scrap of wood they could find.

Two weeks later he called the National Weather Service again. "Are you
absolutely sure that the winter is going to be very cold?"

Absolutely," the man replied. "It looks like it's going to be one of the
coldest winters ever."

"How can you be so sure?" the Chief asked.

The weatherman replied, "The Indians are collecting firewood like crazy."
