What a bunch of crap!

Here's from their own FAQ:

Like the proven "shareware" business model, we believe that once you put 5 of your domains on our 
system, you will enjoy the convenience of our integrated Domain Manager so much that you won't mind 
paying a nominal fee to expand your usage of our system to include all of your domains.

If you add less than 5 domain names to the system, and your live domains remain below our bandwidth 
limits, then enjoy using our services free of charge! Don't forget to tell your friends what you 
think of our service!
