space limit

[Gaura Mohana]

you know on all these "unlimited" plans.
what is the limit

there has to be a logical limit. right?
i mean i could upload every single program in the world, but would i be able to?
\
how does it work?

Install a server status script, and watch the % of the Server Drive Space:

when that get's too 99% everything will become a pain.

well to be honest the thing with when people have unlimited and unmetered is they cud probably set there own limits if they wanted.....

Unlimited diskspace and bandwidth is a load of rubbish.

They only say that because a lot of time people would use over 10gb. and when they go over a certain about of space they will get suspended saying something about the tos and how you have a limit

 

[tdsii]

right, nothing is unlimited, they will just say ur abusing the server according to the TOS, and the TOS is simply a copy paste from another hosting service, i bet they never read it them selfs!

 

[Viz0n]

Most hosts will limit you by inode usage if you read their TOS, so that right there kills "unlimited".

 

[Gaura Mohana]

right. so how am i supppoed to know what the limit is. lol

 

[Viz0n]

You really don't. If you read their long ass TOS/AUP's, they have so many ways to drop you, it's not even funny. Just avoid unlimited based hosts. They all suck anyway.

 

[Gaura Mohana]

what if i wanted to host all software on the server?

 

[StupidGlitch]

Word get's about and it won't only be you're site going down

you say limit ?

here is what i saw / read

server on 10mbit unmetered cannot push more than 4 tb A month
100mbit shared can push around 12tb
100mbit unshared can push around 40tb

upto space it depends upon hard disk they got installed as far i saw / read i see max 1.5tb a disk and max 12 disk per server :D

i hope my information is correct
