Unlimited Hosting is it true?
There are hundreds of web hosts offering unlimited features these days, including some of the most popular hosts such as hostgator, bluehost etc. let’s talk about this unlimited thing.
Because of high competition in hosting industry it is very hard to capture clients easily, you have to offer some thing that is delicious and attractive. There are many new and interesting marketing tricks introduced these days. Unlimited hosting falls in the same category, it’s a marketing gimmick to grab business. In fact, there is no real thing called unlimited. If you think and care to bother to investigate the scenario, you will get the real picture easily.
How to find your limits in unlimited package? Here is the trick to check your limits while staying with unlimited hosts. Unlimited service providers usually embed technical terms in their terms and condition page which no one cares to read. These terms are actually the limits on you account.
a- Inode file limit
Number of inodes are equal to limits on disk space. Which means you have limited disk space.
b- Cpu usage and Bandwidth
Unlimited hosts have limits on cpu and bandwidth also, i.e 3% cpu usage in 90 seconds etc. Which means your bandwidth and cpu usage have limits and you can not go above certain traffic.
c- No streaming and backup allowed
User may think that they can use these accounts for audio/video streaming or store backups. These hosts do not allow storage and streaming in terms and conditions.
I would recommend you to join limited hosts which are very less in number, limited hosts are at least fair to you and promote honesty and fair marketing. I would love to recommend my host, Shopaserver.com for best price in cpanel hosting and reseller hosting.
