| Unlimited is never unlimited. They will cut you off at a certain point. |

| unlimited usually means they give you as much as you want, but the moment you go beyong 'x' gig, they slow it to a crawl... |

True, no such thing as unlimited. It's always metered or monitored and once you hit a certain threshold they lower the boom. If you find a host that advertises unmetered bandwidth though, let us know. EDIT: http://webhostingtalk.com/ - http://webhostingtalk.com/ is generaly thought to be the best (IMHO) source of web host info. -------------

well unlimited usually means a reasonable 10-20GB per month as an accecptable policy.. as soon as u hit.. 20+GB.. u will be recieving email form the CEO telling you had been abusing / over consuming the bandwidth...
in othe cases, the catch would be a lot of websites hosted on the same physical server.. i was checking out some host who offered unlimited bandwidth.. they were hosting something like 170-225 websites / server ------------- http://www.web2messenger.com/theboss">

| How can a company get away with saying unlimited when it isn't? |

I usually find that although a company says unlimited bandwidth that it is sort of correct, but they usually have a policy that if you monopolise the server they will kick you of. This is because sites that usually use allot of bandwidth also have allot of visitors, more visitors the more server resources you use and the less resources for other users. If you find a host that allows you un-limited bandwidth on a dedicated server then this is often more correct, as you can use as much bandwidth as you like as you are not affecting other users. (although in this case watch out for a policy that says monopolising the network resources). ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

1) Web hosting talk is good 2) You can have unlimited bandwidth but most hosts don't tell you the speed of the connection you are getting. 3) 1and1.co.uk dedicated servers have an unlimited 100mbps connection 4) Am I the only person who thinks this user is a spammer as they have registered here for their first post? |

Money can buy anything... this friend of mine ( http://www.videoarab.com - www.videoarab.com ) needed bandiwdth of no less than 5,000 GB per month and he kept struglling till he found something satisfactory of unmetered bandiwdth with a dedicated server package.... i think he pays 200 USD per month. So such thing exists... you just have to keep looking and you'll sure find what you need. ------------- "When it gets dark enough, you can see the stars" -Charles A. Beard |
