Unlimited Hosting - Is it Possible?

[Logix]

When consumers decide they want to place a website on the internet, they are often unaware of the fact that there are limitations. Unlimited is attractive because it requires no further thought. If it's Unlimited then I never need to worry about running out right? Although this is understandable, there are risks with purchasing Unlimited plans.

Many web hosting companies offer "unlimited" as a plan feature. It is impossible for any provider to actually provide an Unlimited amount of bandwidth or disk space. It's just not possible.

Most websites only consume a very small amount of bandwidth and disk space. Web hosting companies that provide Unlimited anything as a plan feature are banking on the fact that you won't use very much. Unlimited is a marketing trick to get your business. The web hosting market is very competitive. Although selling plans that pretend to be Unlimited can seem dishonest, it does not mean that the hosting company will not provide good service. Check in the hosting company's Terms of Service: there will probably be a note about what "unlimited" really means.

From my Point Of View; Stay away from Unlimited providers, if your just starting a new site start with a small amount of Disk & Bandwidth(Few GB). When your expanding, think about upgrading to more disk & bandwidth. Most hosts should allow you to upgrade/downgrade plans very easily without moving data around.

I'd recommend webmasters here to read TOS of the company before making their final order.

I think no one give unlimited hosting, there some limitation available. Each hosting company has different limits in place. They are usually mentioned in their terms of service.

I think that's possible, all depends on the company itself.

When choosing unlimited hosting, be sure to read TOS of the company you are planning to deal with.
