There is no such thing as "unlimited" web hosting

These days, a number of hosts advertise plans with unlimited features– no bandwidth limits, all the disk space you can use, and so on. While this may seem like a good deal up front, there really is no difference between an “unlimited” host and one that places limits on its plans.

Why is this so? If you plan on getting 1 TB of bandwidth and 500 GB of storage out of your unlimited plan, think again. Although the service is theoretically “all you can eat,” hosts generally include clauses in their terms of service giving them the right to terminate customers who use excessive resources. If a customer uses too much disk space or data transfer, the host can terminate him or her on the spot.

These offers are simply gimmicks designed to attract customers. A number of mainstream providers, including Host Gator and Doteasy, advertise “unlimited.” Instead of listening to these ridiculous claims, I would look for a host that is honest and up front.
