"Refresh this page a couple of times if the above link fails to load the first time." - This gives me great confidence and I can't wait to give them my credit card number.

Well he does say it is -not- for production use and only for learning/etc.

Even if it's not for production usage, if that warning comes with a page, I'm not gonna enter my credit card details into it. Who knows what's happening them.

I think they're using some kind of REFERER magic to link the 99 page to vpstree.com (so only people that go through that link get to sign up). Or just use paypal if you don't want your CC info logged.
