Quote:The unlimited bandwidth controversy

For some time now a lot of hosting companies are supposedly providing "unlimited bandwidth" for their web hosting packages.

Its absolutely true, you can have unlimited bandwidth. However, you will need an unlimited amount of money by your side! Jokes apart, if you ever come across such a host it would be best to turn around and run back the way you came from.

Just think, if you can get unlimited bandwidth for $25-30 a month then why aren't big companies like Sun, Microsoft etc. not hosted there? In fact, why isn't everyone hosted there? ...

There are a lot of ways you can be duped by these unlimited hosts; here are just a few of them:

The secret of unlimited is actually buried in the Terms of Service by the host. Do not be surprised to find that unlimited = 15 GB...

In life its a universal truth that you always get what you pay for, and its no different for web hosting.

I enjoyed all the typos in the article :twistedevil: (but I do agree with the writer that "unlimited bandwidth" is basically a scam)
