Unlimited Hosting Space/Bandwidth - Beware!

Kaustubh Katdare · 2009-10-02T02:46:52+00:00

CEans, Lately, I've seen raising interest among CEans about setting up their own websites. Lot of CEans PMed me asking that XYZ host is providing them with unlimited bandwidth, hosting space, MySQL databases etc. for attractive price. Please understand that, for an average Joe, the bandwidth, web-space may never exceed few hunderd MBs [web-space] and few GBs [bandwidth]. However, if your website grows beyond the hosting provider's hidden limits - they'll tell you that you're abusing their network. A good host will mention what you're getting for the price you pay. If you have any questions, let me know. 😀

Yes. Completely true.
I have an free website which provides "110 mb" of space for webpages
and 1.00 gb bandwidth per month. 😀

You won't need unlimited hosting when you start a website. As it grows you need to upgrade the package. Almost all webhost claiming they are unlimited are frauds. The rest hide the things in their TOS where they have "Fair usage policy". Please read the TOS before buying.
