I have found web hosting with unlimited bandwidth & disk space, should I choose it?

from | 11 Nov 2016 | News

The unlimited use of resources such as: bandwidth, hard disk space, memory (Ram), email accounts (pop3 email accounts) etc. it was and is a common policy of hosting companies.

On the one hand it offered a sales incentive and to attract prospective new customers, on the other hand it served to better manage their customers. What I mean:

  • Sales Incentive: I have everything unlimited so I pay a certain amount and don't deal with anything else! I think none of us could resist this reasoning.
  • Better customer management, hosting services: Imagine you have 500 customers (300 shared hosting, 300 domains) and the company's staff deals with 10% of them on a monthly basis for issues like: I want an additional 200MB disk, I exceeded the bandwidth by 1GB this month, etc. .

Of course, for the end customer who has a website or online store with low traffic, who does not need exclusive use of CPU or RAM, and usually the rental value does not exceed €200 per year, hosting solutions with unlimited use of resources are likely to serve him .

But be careful because the constant operating speed of the website depends on the provider and how many such cases they will allow on the same server. Next I will try to describe what is happening

Unlimited capacity in memory, hard drives, memory, ethernet cables, optical fibers, leased lines, etc. simply does not exist!

In order to choose a hosting service, criteria are: the form of technical support (email, phone), its quality, the response time of the technician, the hosting datacenter of the provider's infrastructure, the price of the hosting plan and not the provision unlimited features.
