If you are serious you will see that nothing is unlimited. Hoster, who promise unlimited webspace, are in my eyes not serious they'ra kidding thei customers! even google can not promise unlimited Webspace, wjjunction should help user and forbid in this forum words like "unlimited" or "fair use"

the customer/client/member should do a small research before going with any host , WJ Mods/Admins don't have time to moderate every new fly by night host.

so there is no need to forbid such word :P

its not a hard work to make a sticky where the hoster are forced to make realistic plans.

If I were hoster I would not say "he customer/client/member should do a small research before going with any host"
 
Even Hostagator offers unlimited plans.. we all know thats not possible, but its a fair usage thing not actually unlimited. And if you are aware of this why is it such a big deal,when even some of teh biggest shared hosting providers like Hostgator,Bluehost,Hostmonster etc all do it
 
Anything is possible, so cant really say that. But kinda a stupid suggestions. It's just like them having no limit of what they can upload/usage in space.
 
I know, there are many hoster promising unlimited webspace but you admit it too, is it serious? NO,

or they say "unlimited traffic " and afterthat they say "fair use" what is fair use?

Hoster A: he is serious says "hey my plans here 1 promise 1 gb traffic 1 gb webspace and want for it 1$

Hoster B: he says unlimited traffic unlimited webspace and fair use, for 1$
so a person who searches for a hoster, decides for liar hoster so Hoster A has disadvantages even he is much more honest.

The client, who has no ideas from hosting has been lied,
Hoster A, even he is serious, has lost a client
 
Those are the kind of questions people need to ask the hosting company PRIOR to jsut buying hosting. That is the issue around here and most other places. No one ever, or very rairly actually talks to the host asking questions such as what they consider to be fair usage on unmetered plans. Most times its not the host at fault at all, especially with these RDPs and shit like that here offering unmetered, there is most obviously a fair usage policy, so if someone takes teh time to ask questions, or ever in most cases read teh terms of service before purchase instead of jsut ticking the AGREED TO TOS radio button and carrying on, then complaining when they rape the server and get shut down
 
Who told you that Hoster A says true?With such plans he can easily throw 200 customers in one server..

What companies thing about unmetered is that the client will have peace on his mind until his site need super dedicated server.But on the back of their head and inside their TOS they say that you won't put 65 sites in a VPS,sborg,utorrent,publick rapidleech and and and.

There are clients that are liars too,not only the hosts.
 
Its kinda of unfair to the person buying because not everybody is gonna go google that host and research them especially people that are new webmasters.
 
Unlimited Storage*


* Storage may only be used to upload text files no bigger than 50kb.

^ Terms like those make 'unlimited storage' a real possibility.

So in any case, unlimited storage is no new concept. It's been the deal for a while now. It's up to the end user to properly research before going with a host. Kind of like you would do your research before buying something tangible. Hosting is no different.
 
So, can I make a Title like this:
SuperHosting.com - cPanel, Unlimited space*, Unlimited bandwidth# for free^ (Netherlands)

*: Storage may only be used to upload text files no bigger than 50kb.

#: 10 Gb Bandwidth can be used anyway you want. Remaining Bandwidth may only be used for data transfer by Site Owner. (1 IP allowed)

^: Free only for 1 month, for those who live in the Vatican.
 
Free hosting is not allowed, so you can remove that part from your title/offering.

The other 2 with conditions, sure you can. It's yourself that is going to look like a complete joke. It won't harm anyone that can read properly :)

P.S: Those 2 terms are usually hidden in the TOS which most people don't bother reading, but agree to.
 
the unlimited is simple sales tactic I think it's simply a lie. It's like your lying to your clients in away since there is no such thing.
