Unlimited Space And Bandwidth ...?
Unlimited space and bandwidth... totally lying?
I bought hosting with unlimited bandwidth, space, domain, etc. A few days ago I install script to sell photos. So I upload huge of photos and maybe eat their bandwidth and space. And today my account is deleted without any warning! I tried to ask this but no answer yet.
Is the Unlimited space and bandwidth is totally lying??? But why even hostgator selling the unlimited features?

Unlimited Space And Bandwidth For 4$
while looking for a host I've found that there are many hosts that offer unlimited web space and unlimited bandwidth for very little money like 4$ per month and there are also expensive web hosts that offer limited but big webspace and high bandwidth for much more money. What am I missing here? If a big website like yahoo decides to buy that 4$ per month host and move there, what would happen? Would the bandwidth really be enough and not slow down? If it wouldn't carry yahoo then why do they say it's unlimited? I'm confused because I've heard about people spending thousands of dollars for big websites every month.

HostGator - Unlimited Bandwidth?
HostGator has a "SWAMP" package with unlimited bandwidth for $15/m. I find this hard to believe. I wonder if they have some kind of a "within fair use" rule in their TOS? Has anyone ever tried to use a huge amount of bandwidth on this package?

Is Really Bandwidth Unlimited In Some Hostings
There are many hosting service providers around the world. Many are advertising, Unlimited Bandwidth, Unlimited Disk storage . I choose one of those company for one my hosting need. It is not much a big website but has some traffic. Also nothing to download or upload... all the content is text based. In one month hosting started to suck.. lots of downtime and database error from the hosting side. End of the day, I was asking for a VPS solution. My God! they do not have any VPS or dedicated server solution at all. Why the hosting companies just buildup their advertisement. And why should they offer what they cannot provide. And their strength I still see is.. they are still saying to me that they are hosting is Unlimited Bandwidth, Unlimited Disk storage.

Dreamhost Unlimited Bandwidth. How Much Have YOU Pushed
Signed up with Dreamhost and my account was closed after two days (no warning). Was on track to push 1-2TB a month. They said my video blog was a "file dump" Two questions: 1) How much bandwidth has anyone actually been able able to use with them (or any overseller) and how'd you do it? 2) How can you get what's advertised? Do VPS accounts let you use all your bandwidth? Could you list some hosts that will not find excuses to shut you down? I have no idea how much bandwidth is reasonable to expect with shared hosting My Dreamhost account was jusjon4 if anyone from the company could let me recover my data that'd be great (I don't even want a refund)

Limited Versus Unlimited Bandwidth
I am having trouble working out which host to choose for a new project. I usually opt for Webmania or Heart Internet - they are excellent providers but Webmania now applies a bandwidth cap that may be too low and Heart's cheapest package does not provide sub-domains. I can't be sure whether 12GB will be big enough for a site that will contain galleries of high-res images (I have no prior experience with caps and traffic predictions are impossible at this time) and to get sub-domains from Heart means a £90 per year package (too much). Streamline is one of the few good-value providers that do not cap bandwidth, but I have concerns about the effect that this may have on server speed given that it is bound to attract the kind of sites that are really heavy on bandwidth. This point was mentioned in an article recently. If I take the last option, will I be hampering the performance of my site?

Need 1000GB Disk Space/200TB Bandwidth?
OK so I've been in the hosting industry a very long time now and I have noticed that overselling has got more and more crazy over time. 7 years ago, 2GB of disk and 10GB bandwidth was considered overselling. Today, its common to see offers at 1000GB/1000TB. So my question, to all you looking for web hosting, do you really think you will need all that space and bandwidth? I'm going to let you in on a little secret. (Some might hate me for this!) Out of all my customers, 99% use less than 1GB disk and 5GB transfer. Every hosting provider out there knows this, and will tack on a bunch of 0s to their offer to make it look more enticing . The thing is, if you aren't using the space, you aren't getting any extra value. If you come even close to the amount they offer, I am willing to bet you will be suspended faster than you can blink. This advertising tactic is very misleading and a lot of newcomers base their decision off the meaningless numbers they see. <<Snip>> Bloggers - Think again if you believe you need anything more than 1GB of space. You could type blog posts until you are blue in the face before you come close to using 1GB(unless you incorporate a lot of videos and images) Forum owners - Considering most forums are text based, forums use hardly any bandwidth. If you run a highly active forum, eventually you will start consuming decent amounts of disk space. However, there is no way that a shared host would allow such a forum to exist on the servers. You will be shut down before you use even a fraction of that 100gb/1000tb. What should you consider than? If you see a host offering such impossible amounts of resources for an even more impossible price, look elsewhere. If you want a decent service, look to spend $5-10/m for a reasonable amount of disk space and bandwidth.

Low Space And Bandwidth, Reliable Hosting
I am planning to create a website for my business. Its a bulk exports business and there will be very few visitors, less than 1000 a month. Also space needed should also not exceed 100 mb as I will only have some html information pages and a few pictures of my products. However, the webhost should be reliable and have an easy to use interface as I am a beginner in this field (I hear cPanel is good). Also I have 2 more domains/businesses which I hope this same hosting should cover so it should have addon hosting. Please recommend a reliable hosting provider with a good interface and price under $25 per year. The registrar I will be using for the domain is Namecheap as I am planning to register a .in (India) domain name and very few have that option.

Host That Doesn't Lie About Bandwidth Space?
I am sure this thread was most likely created before but I haven't been able to find anything on the particular host I just had an issue with. It goes like this. I've been through web hosts ever since 1998. I've grown accustomed to web hosts deceiving their customers by listing '20 gigs of BW use, or 'Unlimited BW' (which we all know is BS) but for the past few years, I actually had a host who didn't lie about how much BW their customers got with the packages. I signed up for a 20 gig BW account with HostVector and I've used up to 19 gigs and they have never said a single word. I left them recently because they were bought out by Millennium Services and ever since then, its been a nightmare. Constant down time, tech support nowhere to be found. Sadly to say, I had to leave that host due to fact that their new owners have no clue what they are doing. I found ELIEF and thought they looked promising. I signed up for the package that listed 20 gigs of BW, now at first I thought okay.. this may be fishy, but if this was a flake, they would have specified that customers really won't get 20 gigs of BW. Regardless, I trusted them the way I trusted HostVector. Seeing how I am a musician, I uploaded a 80MB pack and sent it to some friends to download and not even a 12 hours later. My account was suspended because it apparently caused their server to crash? I checked the stats and only 68 users downloaded that 80MB file. This is beyond aggravating. I know there are countless web hosts who lie about this type of stuff but why cant at least specify someplace on their page a more detailed info about bandwidth usage? Maybe put an asterisks next to the BW section like some hosts do and explain that what is listed there is not the reality. So here I am, my domain is suspended. My fans/listeners/friends are wondering what happened and I am sitting here angered beyond belief because I thought this type of lying was something that hosts stopped doing in the late 90s. Any recommendation guys? Does an honest web host who actually offers the same amount of BW they list on their hosting packages, exist anywhere?

Webmin Creating Folder/user With Space And Bandwidth Quota
how can i create directories in my (public_html / htdocs folder) that have disk space and traffic quota? i activated the disk quota to the native linux file system and i tried to create a user but i could not put this user in any folder in the public_html (i dont know how to do this) also there is no option to create bandwidth quota.. one more detail is that the folders need to be protected with login and password because people may try to enter this folders (e.g. www.mydomain.com/protectedfolder) all this using webmin or another free good script.

Fast Webhost, Little Disk Space, With Php, Mysql, Phpmyadmin, And Alot Of Bandwidth
The most important requirement is that the webhost must be fast. It must have alot of bandwidth. The disc space is not so important. 200 MB would be enough. It must have PHP, MySQL and phpmyadmin installed. Must be accesable through FTP. There are offcourse more requirements. But the main thing is that i want it to be fast. My pages will be only informative and exists of just mainly text and an image every now and then. Do you know any fast webhosts that is good to handle websites with large amounts of visitors? I'm looking for something around 6 dollars per month. I dont know much about webhosting at all, so i'd appreciate any help i can get Also i see websites where you can register a domain. But the prices vary, isn't a domain just a domain? What makes this price difference?

UK Web Hosting 500MB Space 1GB Bandwidth Existing .org.uk Domain
I'm the webmaster for a church website: stpetersbraunstone.org.uk and our domain & hosting renewal is coming up, so I'm looking to see if there's a better deal. We're with namehog.net (and have been for 2 years with no problems at all) on their Professional package. The renewal fees are 105GBP (web hosting) + 5.90GBP (domain name) + 17.5pc VAT to cover the next 2 years, which comes to 130.31GBP. The site is powered by WordPress, so PHP and MySQL are needed. And we upload lots of photos, so need at least 250MB webspace I'd have thought. So far, our highest monthly bandwidth usage has been under 800Mb, and our visitor numbers are increasing and our highest monthly figure so far was 401. Any recommendations gratefully received. There seems to be many different companies out there who offer what I want, so I'm after some personal recommendations please. I've already used this site to discount streamline.net due to bad reviews. I'm looking at fuzioned.com and redfoxhosting.co.uk - any thoughts? I've also come across no-wires.co.uk - has anyone had any good or bad experiences with them? And yes, I have submitted my details to the "request quote" thing.

Why Going Unlimited?
It seems there is a small surge that is rising with big hosting companies moving towards unlimited. I think it started with Yahoo and now over the last few days I have noticed some other companies listed below going unlimited on space/bandwidth. Hostmonster IXwebhosting startlogic With this in mind, I suspect many others will start to follow. We shall see in the coming months.

Define Unlimited
what do you consider unlimited? Is unlimited simply a marketing term? I've seen a few host go from offer 1000mb to just listing it as unlimited. I could understand that after some time a person may become confused once they start using too many resources but was the "unlimited" just a trend other hosting companies have followed? or do you congregate somewhere and decided, hey we should do unlimited, lol. I'm curious because I see these "unlimited" plans a lot, as a consumer I'm really starting to focus more on plans that do listed in numbers what you get as appose to just seeing the word unlimited.

UNLIMITED Databases
Do u want to run an online e-commerce store? create a forum? or develop the next facebook or myspace? If you answered yes to any of th questions then there are very important factors you need to consider before choosing a host. You have to understand that there's a difference between Database and database size. UNLIMITED database means that you have as many databases as you want, but of what use is an unlimited database if the disk size for the database is just 50MB for example. Don't be deceived by the number of database a web host company is willing to chun out. Do a little research, ask questions. Afterall you might not need an unlimited database afterall.

1&1 Unlimited
I spent 2 weeks reading the materials this company has on it's website, AND, asking them several pre-sell questions to see if they would 'fit the bill', so to speak. After answering all my questions, I ordered a 'managed' server, because although I have had vps's and other hosting accts., I didn't feel confident managing my own server. Plus, they have a summer "special" for only $49.90 for the first 3 months, on a 24 month contract. WHAT A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE FROM THE VERY BEGINNING! First, it took 2 and-a-half weeks to setup my server. I had to go screaming to paypal to get them to tell me my server was ready. (They SAY it'll be ready within 5 days) I had to cancel the contract, and rant and rave to get that far. (Who needs the stress - know what I mean?) Also, I had called their support a couple times to try to get the status of my server order, and the people working for them, don't know a darn thing. I got sent to two different places, just trying to find out what had happened with my server order. Anyway, I was satisfied that I finally had my server, and removed the claim at pp. The drama continues . . . One of the questions I had asked them PRIOR to buying, is how much additional ip's would cost for this package. They gave me the cost, and I made a 'mental note' of it. Last night, I sent an email to them requesting several more IP's, as I need them for several projects I've been WAITING to get started. I was told that I can't HAVE additional IP's for my server. Has anyone EVER heard of that before? Upon spending more time on the 'server' interface, it's nothing more than an admin panel, (not windows, whm, centos, or cpanel, etc.) that you can build 'a' website with. Lots of FLUFF, but not the definition of a server AT ALL! It's somthing that a complete newbie would order because they can't make their own website. So, now I've wasted almost a month screwing around with this company, and they out and out LIED to me, (I have the emails to prove it) and I'm left 'out' $50, all the time they wasted, AND, I don't know if I'm even going to be able to afford another solution until next month! I'm just getting started and my budget isn't very big, but I AM honest, and I pay my bills. I'm on disability, so I have to plan my budget carefully, until I get rich that is. (Sorry, sidetracked there, 'cause I'm VERY upset right now.) Bottom line, this company sucks all the way around. I think they are just so big, that there isn't any personalized service at all, and their customer service people are dumb as rocks. Avoid them like the plague! Have a great day everyone. I've been crying all day, so I'm going to go do some aromatherapy with a hot bath and some candles. Tomorrow is another day, and hopefully God brings me another solution.

Virtuozzo - Unlimited VEs
Does any dedicated server provider give a Virtuozzo license with unlimited VEs? I've noticed that most of them give 3, 10, or max. 100. Do you have any idea why wouldn't they give a license for unlimited VEs and why are they restricting the number of VEs that we can create on a server since, as far as I've understood, Viruozzo provides license considering the CPU no.s, but not the number of VEs.

What Does Hosting 'unlimited' Domains Really Mean
I registered and hosted two domains, one for my girlfriend and one for me. I used GoDaddy, paying around $130 all together at a rate of $5 monthly. Doing research tonight for a new domain I want to host, I come across "HostGator" which offers Unlimited Domain Hosting. (At around $7 a month) Does this mean, if I am not mistaken, I could have payed $84 and placed my girlfriend's and my domain on the same hosting server, thus using the same bandwidth and storage space, thus saving a bit of money? Assuming I am correct up until now, what happens if I get a hosting package that has unlimited storage space, unlimited bandwidth, and unlimited domain hosting? That means the only additional cost I'd be paying for hosting a new site would be a basic $10 per year domain registration cost? I am quite ambitious and have plans for about 3 new domain projects, and I figured I would have to purchase a new hosting account of $60+ yearly for each one. If I could combine these into one hosting account, it would save a lot of money and grief.

What's Better 250GB Or Unlimited For $5.00 Per Month
Which one would you prefer, $5.00 for unlimited or 250GB disk space? Of course with a 2-3 year contract to go along with that Clearly everyone is familiar with overselling and unlimited overselling, but I want to know if customers trust a more limited approach to overselling or just removing the ridiculous limits and putting unlimited is a better idea? Clearly unlimited seems to attract more customers, because well it is unlimited and 250gb would be too restricting for a 100MB website

Unlimited Domain Hosting
A while back I had a hosting service prepaid for 2 years...awful. They say I can have unlimited domain hosting. But it turned out I can have subdomains that's what they meant. I think its false advertising. Right now I have a cheap host for $1/month reseller, promise of unlimited domains/bandwidth etc., How is it possible to host unlimited domains? Or is this a concept used by everyone to mean unlimited "subdomains"? how this work? Because I am trying to save cost on hosting and have a reliable service provider. Is it possible in CPanel?

Unlimited Exchange Mailbox
i was pinged a few times asking why dont we support unlimited Exchange Mailbox where as lots of providers do. I took the question to our Product team and here is what they shared with me, which i thought to extend to my friends here... 1. The primary reason for not having an unlimited mailbox size is the possibility of runaway mailbox growth. There are several scenarios, such as a Denial of Service attack, an auto-reply rule storm, a runaway automated process, or some other unforeseen event that can generate hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of email addresses to a single mailbox (or group of mailboxes), having it grow to astronomical proportions (100’s of gigabytes) in a very short time. We have seen this happen multiple times that we come in to help clean up. A runaway email box (or boxes) can quickly and easily expand to consume all of the available storage and resources of the mailbox server, and severely cripple availability for all other users of the system. (This impacts ALL customers on the hosted environment) 2. Secondarily, if we allow unlimited mailbox growth and the customer is charged for storage, this can result in an unexpectedly large bill. 3. Some providers who claim to offer “unlimited” mailbox size are actually offering an “arbitrary maximum” mailbox size. If you dig into their SLAs they state that there is a “functional limit”, which they do not define, and they also state that mailboxes should not be used as archives, which implies that if/when users reach this undefined functional limit, older items are the ones that get deleted/purged. So, none of our competitors actually offer unlimited mailboxes, just undefined, arbitrary mailbox limits. 4. As an Exchange mailbox gets larger, it becomes more and more difficult for a user to manage and use. This issue applies regardless of server configurations or resources – it is a matter of the complexity of having the Outlook client manage multiple gigabytes of mailbox storage and the corresponding tens or hundreds of thousands of individual messages.

Unlimited Web Hosting, What's Next
the industry is back to where it was about 8 years ago, when only a few companies offering unlimited were labeled as "scam". Now 8 years down the road, most of the large companies offering unlimited everything, but everyone is ok with it. What is next? How will the competition go on? Examples: Unlimited + Free 2nd Unlimited account. Unlimited + Unlimited = Unlimited!! Unlimited + FREE CASH! How low can these companies go? How will they keep up the competition since there is no more disk space or bandwidth left to compete on. Maybe start free hosting? Start giving out cash to sign up? If you look at one of those Top 10 hosting web sites, you will see all the companies listed now offer unlimited everything, just different pricing structure. Since they all offer the same thing, wouldn't the person looking just click on the lowest price? Since most people aren't aware of overselling or the unlimited truth, they see it as something that they will never run out of. Average consumer is not aware of these marketing gimmicks. Honestly if my cell phone provider was offering unlimited minutes for $45 per month, and another one was offering $100 for 1000 minutes my choice would be unlimited. I would even put up with a little bit of crap from the support for $45 unlimited talk time, and a few service outages.

Unlimited Pop3 Email
Does anyone know a host that allows you to send as many emails per hour as you like. Currently my host limit me to 100 an hour but my sites sends about 500 altogether per hour. Reason there are so many is because i have a couple sites now with a good size user base each and everytime a comment is left or something like that a notification is sent, especially on the forum. I don't need a limited host though because the sites are getting bigger and i don't wanna be moving around to find a new one everytime.

BlueHost's UNLIMITED Plan!
I did some quick live chat sessions with them just to see how far this "unlimited" really goes. Here's what I got: -Maximum of 8 simultaneous IMAP connections -Maximum of 40 simultaneous PHP connections -Maximum of 60 simultaneous MySQL connections -Maximum of 400 simultaneous HTTP connections -Maximum of 8 simultaneous FTP connections I just found that kind of funny and thought I'd share it with y'all. It basically just sums up what y'all have been saying all along: If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is.

Why Can't We Have Unlimited Data On Dedicated Servers
Why can't we have Unlimited data on dedicated servers? People say data costs alot of money so dedicated server providers cannot offer unlimited monthly data, but why don't hosting companies lay their own underground/underwater cables coz then they cud charge what they want? Or talk to the current cable owners and see if they can get unlimited data deals. When u think about it, when u get satellite tv, they don't say u can only watch 100 hours of tv per month, coz u can watch as much tv as u want,yet the satellite still uses data, so y is this not the same for dedi providers?

Recommendation For Hosting Unlimited Domains
I have about 14 domains I'd like to host on one server. They combined use about 50gb of bandwidth, 15,000-20,000 unique visitors per month. About 3-4,000 page impressions per day. I currently use hostmonster.com and their uptime sucks, and I keep getting suspended for using to much cpu quota.
