Mike,
I have been using FP for nearly two months now and have never been redirected anywhere.
Perhaps when you were checking out the website you clicked on a link within the site that has nothing to do with hosting. I went to the FastPic website this morning to check for myself. There is a ton of stuff on there....and very little in english.
I will never trust any web hosting outfit to keep my images safe. Perfect example currently before our eyes here at TG.... a mad scramble to find that which was lost (or hidden) and get it posted without having to pay ransome.
Like anywhere else within the vast cyberworld, a person needs to use a common sense approach.
Be careful everywhere.....always
