Does a web host really offer unlimited space and bandwidth?
When you are searching a web hosting plan, you will find that more and more web hosting providers are offering unlimited disk space and unlimited bandwidth with their hosting packages.
What does that mean unlimited disk space or unlimited bandwidth? Technically, there is no such unlimited thing. Every web host just has limited resources, how can they offer unlimited thing to their cusotmers? Actually, “unlimited” is just a descriptive word that web hosts use to promote their business. You can find the terms usage of disk space and bandwidth in every web host’s “Terms of Services”.
Unlimited disk space:
Usually, the web hosting provider will tell you that you can create a website as large as you like, hundreds or thousands of web pages; you will not be penalized for exceeding any upper or ceiling limit. However, you should realize that there are many other users on your server and growing a website very large too fast will impede the performance of that server, as using too many server resources will negatively impact other customers on that server. The web host will place some constraints on how fast you can grow that website and monitor the server resources closely. The vast majority customers’ websites grow at rates well within their rules, however, and will not be impacted. If your websites take too much disk space, the web host may suspend your account.
Unlimited bandwidth and data transfer:
This rule only comes into play when you use excess server processing power that negatively impacts the performance of the server and provides a bad customer experience in that server community. Minimizing the impact on an individual server’s processing power is key to the overall performance that server. In the vast majority of cases, if you use the web hosting service appropriately, visitors to your website will be able to view, download, and add as much content from your site as they wish. However, in certain circumstances, the server processing power, server memory, or anti-abuse controls could limit downloads or access from your site. Violators to the rule of bandwidth usage will not be tolerated. You can upload all the content that you require each month subject to the rules as outlined.
Before you sign up any web hosting packages, estimate how much disk space and bandwidth you need, check out the usage policy, talk to the web host, then make sure that you are not going to violate the terms of services. The advertised “unlimited” doesn’t really mean unlimited.
