Unlimited space and bandwidth, Is it possible?

 

Web hosting provider with unlimited space and bandwidth?
Bandwidth is the most important, since I’m running media
services. If anyone knows some providers which have been proved
their reliability, please share it.

This is the question most of the person in the world of web
hosting world asks for. Being myself running a media services
site http://www.pakimp3.org ask
the same question over and over again to myself and to all the
web hosting companies that says UNLIMITED BANDWIDTH OR UNLIMITED
WEBSPACE. Truly saying there is nothing in the world of web
hosting that is unlimited. Even if you bought a dedicated server
this would be impossible. The only possible answer is
'Unmetered' but even this has a limit.

There is always a limit. Some just say 'unlimited' to attract
you to buy their services.

As before purchasing a service from any web hosting out there I
first drop an email to the sales department asking them about
the services they advertise UNLIMITED, I asked for the proper
definition, the email reply I got explaining me that UNLIMITED
bandwidth they can offer with some restrictions apply, some
offered 2 Mbps line some less which makes the downloading speed
of files from the server horrible.

It would be a better idea you should purchase a server in
contribution with a friend or family member who want to share
the expense of hosting charges this will help you to cut the
cost and provide reliable services to your visitors.
1&1 Dedicated Linux Servers starting at $69 per
month or
ServerPronto.com is the good choice to
start with.

Friendly advice as I am running http://www.pakimp3.org for
the last one and half year I only recommend never go after that
companies that advertise UNLIMITED SPACE or BANDWIDTH.

Unlimited Space And Bandwidth Offers At Any Price?

In web hosting, a marketing rage in the past few years has been offers of unlimited space and bandwidth. The only thing I can think of offhand that is really unlimited - is time. What kind of servers are these sites being hosted on anyway? What's the largest hard drive physically available? If I wanted bandwidth at 1129 Tbps, would that be possible?

There are real physical limits on bandwidth and space.

The bandwidth available to data centers in the Midwest is different than the bandwidth offered, for example, in NY, Dallas, LA and Chicago. Data centers have to pay upstream providers for the bandwidth they offer to their clients. Some upstream providers with varying latency on their network price out lower or higher than others. Data centers routinely offer a blend of 3, 4 or more providers through BGP (Border Gateway Protocol), but can offer a preferred network with failover to a blended network - significantly reducing the end client's bandwidth cost.

Are unlimited plans at $3.99/Month realistic?

In one word - NO. I've yet to find one offer of unlimited space and bandwidth at any price that doesn't have a corresponding TOS and AUP that addresses the specific bandwidth and space allowable. So why do so many hosts offer these packages? It's all about perception of value - to the unsuspecting general public. The offer sounds fantastic, until you buy into the plan and get canceled by that provider for violating some clause of their TOS. I read threads every day of the week posted in forums on the Internet by unsuspecting clients - wondering why their account was canceled by host xxx?

Compare this to your own business.

Do you find that managing your prospects expectations works out best? That ‘never needs sharpening' knife isn't really going to last forever, is it? Here's a simple question to ask any provider that offers unlimited space on their webserver. How large is the hard drive that I'll be hosted on?  Unlimited? Not by a long shot!
