Once in a while, we will see somebody offering unlimited bandwidth and disk space or lifetime hosting. Just wonder what other people think about them?

wts wrong wid it:p
its possible

**Edder** · 07-18-2005, 09:29 PM

That's because they know that you can never use it all...but most still have the 10% cpu usage policy.

read the fine print, theres always a limit, anybody who doesent have a limit is a one man show who doesent know what he is doing, and is gonna go bankrupt cause some idiot is hgonna start uploading warez, or other illegal software on the server and use up all the space.

Check the terms of service before signing up for anything. The TOS plays a big factor in choosing the right hosting plan because it's like a book that contains all the rules. Sometimes, there is no point in unlimited hosting if the host doesn't allow you to upload stuff like media files, etc...and you're right, unlimited is a cliche term because physically there is no such thing as unlimited.

What if i have a forum that has 1,000,000 members and growing fast, and fills up 100GB space a month 500GB a month bandwidth, would the unlimited host still host me?

Jeffrey, if you have a forum like that I recommend you dont risk hosting it on a free host that might packup, and dissappear tomorrow.

**LuckYou** · 07-24-2005, 06:42 AM

that s true!

if your forum has such number of active members ....
then u do not need to worry about its hosting ...

**nameslave** · 07-24-2005, 09:11 PM

Some forums out there actually DISALLOW such "unlimited" hosting offers.

No it's not, unlimited space or bandwidth on a shared plan is impossible. Unmetered dedicated servers are the only thing that won't be deceptive advertising. Make sure you read the TOS of the host that offers unlimited bandwidth or disk space before you sign up with them.

**fkrule** · 05-13-2006, 07:08 AM

there is no such thing as unlimited guys remember that there is always a limit as the server can never have a unlimited spcae hardrive

**elmister** · 05-13-2006, 02:01 PM

There is nothing 'unlimited' in this world, disk space has a limit, bandwidth has a physical limit, and price should be set according to costs.

Companies offering unlimited space and nearly unlimited bandwidth for a few bucks have fine print that allows them to close your account as soon as you start to use some of the resources they promised.
