The Untold Story Of Unlimited Web Hosting

The word Unlimited continues to trap customers

Generally, in web hosting if you come across
terms like unlimited disk space, unlimited
bandwidth or unlimited hosting, your first
perception will be that there are no limits on
disc space, bandwidth or other hosting resources.
Also, some people are of the opinion that with
unlimited hosting, they can host as many websites
as they want.
Well, if thats what you are thinking, then you
are wrong and you need to get your facts right
before you take the plunge in buying the so
called unlimited hosting package.
Lets start from the basics!

As a modern and smart web hosting client, you
should know that the web hosting industry has its
own terminologies. In English, unlimited means
something that is not restricted, but thats
really not the case when it comes to a web
hosting package! Unlimited hosting is limited in
real sense.
Its time to think logically. There is nothing
unlimited in this world. To give you a simple
example, even the natural resources are getting
depleted day by day. It is not at all possible to
offer unlimited bandwidth with limited number of
cables transmitting the data around the world.
Moreover, it is also not possible to employ
unlimited manpower for managing the servers and
networks.
Unlimited is nothing but a marketing gimmick or
an imaginary term in the web hosting industry and
website owners who do not understand the real
meaning behind unlimited hosting might fall for
it.

The most important aspect to be considered is
that the web hosting companies are here to do
business and to make money. Do you really think
that they will be able to provide you access to
unlimited hosting resources in 3 - 4 per month?
How are they going to afford it?

You might be allured to sign up for an unlimited
shared hosting plan. You might use it for some
time and when the resources are not enough and
when your website becomes slow, you might be
asked to switch to a VPS or a dedicated server!
When you sign up for an unlimited hosting plan,
you are allowed to host unlimited websites and
use unlimited hosting resources as long as you
are not using too much of the resources or as
long as you are not overusing them. The
unlimited hosting users are limited by various
hosting rules for instance, your CPU usage can
be throttled when you hit the server limit.
Every web hosting provider out there who offers
unlimited hosting has its own rules and server
limitations for controlling and restricting the
users. There could be restrictions on RAM,
inodes, number of MySQL databases, CPU queries,
FTP uploads etc. Therefore, as soon as your
website reaches an alarming stage, your web
hosting provider will restrict the resources or
impose additional charges on you.

Large web hosting companies usually have access
to a large hosting resource spectrum like
computer servers, man power, bandwidth pipes etc.
These resources can never be used up by a single
website. Most of the websites require very less
resources for running the daily operations. As
the web hosting companies notice that most of the
resources in their servers stay idle, the hosting
companies that offer unlimited hosting packages
re-sell the idle or unused resources. This
practice is known as overselling.

When you invest your money in something as a
consumer, you look forward to value for money.
Why invest in something that will turn into a
nightmare for you at a later point of time? Think
that you paid for an unlimited hosting package.
After a certain period of time, when your website
traffic increases, your web host might restrict
the resources to your account and your website
performance will get affected. At this moment,
you will have to either pay the charges for
improving the website performance or upgrade to a
higher plan. Think about it!

It is a smart decision to buy a web hosting
package where you know the volume of resources
that you will have access to. As a result of
this, there will be no disappointments later on.
You will be free to develop your website with a
clear idea of hosting resources and prices. The
web hosting platform you choose is directly
related to the functioning of your website
therefore it is important to take a logical and
cautious decision.

As mentioned earlier, unlimited hosting is
nothing more than a marketing tactic used by the
web hosting companies to gain more customers but
it is up to you to think practically and to know
about the ground realities. When it comes to
selecting a web hosting package, it is important
to perform an in-depth analysis about support
services, uptime, software support etc.
Now that you know the reality about unlimited
hosting, dont get allured by the unlimited
hosting marketing stunt, go ahead and ask
questions! The best course of action is to plan
ahead of time and go for a web hosting plan that
is really worth it rather than opting for a plan
that just looks good from a distance!
If you are looking for a genuine hosting plan and
true value for money, consider MilesWeb!
